I just returned from a late summer mini vacation to visit my brother/family in Eugene, OR. The trip was too short, made even shorter because of the limited flight schedules available at small airports. 4 flights & 15 hours of travel, door to door each way, takes a toll. It was sure a good reminder of why I decided to retire from travel teaching!
This is not to say it was anything but totally worthwhile......face to face sure beats Facetime.
My wonderful SIL grew up in the same town our family did. Her family home was on the shores of Lake Michigan. As a child she used to collect the sea glass that washed up on their beach. She estimates these treasures have been sitting in this empty whiskey bottle for 50 years.
We emptied it and washed the bits and pieces. Barbara gave me free rein to take as many as I wished.
Here's my pile....now that I'm home, I've got it soaking in some white vinegar which should hopefully brighten them up.
This is my favorite piece.....look carefully to see the twisted wire embedded in the glass. I plan to use the sea glass to embellish my next batch of hand felted bowls.
