Your Nautical and Coffee Obsessed Best Friend: From Travel to Fashion and Everything in between
"For me growing up, Christmas time was always the most fantastic, exciting time of year, and you'd stay up until three in the morning. You'd hear the parents wrapping in the other room but you knew that also, maybe, they were in collusion with Santa Claus." ~ Chris Pine Traditions While a lot has changed [...]
"I looked along the San Juan Islands and the coast of California, but I couldn't find the palette of green, granite, and dark blue that you can only find in Maine." ~ Parker Stevenson Quick Geography Lesson Sounding like a local (thank you Tiffany) I had to get my geography in check. Though the island [...]
"We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came." ~ John F. Kennedy Day three dawned bright and warm in North Beach. With temps approaching seventy it was the perfect day for a [...]
"I have spent many hours on the beach collecting sea glass, and I almost always wonder, as I bend to pick up chunk of bottle green or a shard of meringue white, what the history of the glass was. Who used it? Was it a medicine bottle? A bit of a ship's lantern? Is that [...]

It started with a like and it was love at first Instagram pic. Sometimes fate has an interesting way of matching people up. In this instance a sea glass junkie consumer with a sea glass jewelry designer. A perfect fit! I love jewelry. It is the one accessory, whether it be bracelets, necklaces earrings, rings, [...]
My love affair began three years ago, when a new friend, now my best friend, gushed about what sounded like a mystical place on the Maine shore. We had just been to Portland Headlight in what use to be Fort Williams and I was running on a Lighthouse high. If you have ever been to [...]
I was helping a friend create a blog the other day and we were going through names. Well as a writer I know Google is my best friend for finding names. As a fellow seaglass huntress I thought it would be cool for her to incorporate the name into her blog. She ended up settling [...]
I am probably certifiably crazy, but while the majority of people decided to inebriate on spirits, I chose to spend my New Years at the ocean. I know the ocean in December!? Commit this girl! Alas this is the same girl who went into the ocean in March. While I hate the cold, I will [...]
