For Yo Baby Daddy!!!












My husband recently went home to Ormond Beach, Florida...... It was an old fashioned Southern family reunion, equipped with beehive hairdos, house coats, fried chicken and baked beans!!

He really misses his family!! I'm not sure, but I think his mom is starting to "feel" her age.... she made all these photo memory books and gave him all his trophies to take home! She also gave him a HUGE tackle box filled with vintage and antique fishing lures!

Most of these lures he couldn't bear to part with....... Others..... well, I was lucky, he gave em' to me!!! I made some great (well, I think so) Father's Day treats with them!!! I used beach stones from Rhode Island and California and paired them with some sweet lures!
I find it so hard to find "manly" gifts for our men!! How man ties and soap on a rope can one man pretend to love! These are cool.... functional..... can be used every day and HEY, if he's out around a lake one day..... he's prepared!!

What the heck am I supposed to do on a BLOG!!!??







So I've been struggling as to what the heck am I supposed to do with a blog! I like to write but I don't think I'm particularly interesting enough for people to check in with me EVERY DAY!!

So I thought, "Other people are interesting!!" So introducing my blog.... Not about me, but about
the interesting people I meet on my daily beach trips!! Bear with me, I got the idea after photographing the first people I met, so it won't be that interesting YET!!

Anyway, every time I visit the beach, the inevitable question is asked of me.... "What are you looking for??!!" I go into a huge explanation of sea glass and it's origins!! Some people have heard of it, some not!!

Today's family... never heard of it..... said with Southern accent!! I am afraid that I've created a monster in the Dad!! After I showed him a few fabulous pieces, he started huntin' like a madman! He was so happy he said because he hates sitting on the beach!! His daughter was very sweet and friendly, so I asked if I could photo them for my blog!! They happily agreed!!

Thanks guys.... wish I found out more about you!
