If you need more time to pay, please let me know. I am willing to work with anyone, but if I don't hear from you within 3 days, I will assume you are a non-paying bidder.

We were able to go on our first glass hunt of the season yesterday, April 6th...it was great to be back out there and we found many beauties..(even a nice little red!:) I put a photo of what we found on my ME page...Still lots of ice, but it was 60 degrees and I was happy to atleast search the shoreline. Can't wait to see what's under the rest of all that ice! I will be making more jewelry with our findings and listing items as I have them ready. We have thousands of pieces in our collection, and sometimes it takes me awhile to choose just the right ones..I am picky! If you put me in your favorites, ebay should notify you when I list. A special thank you to my customers who have made selling on ebay a fun and rewarding experience. I hope you enjoy wearing your beach treasures as much as I enjoy finding them and making the jewelry!

Did you know that pure forms of sea glass are classified as mineral gems? Lake Erie has a natural pH level of 8 to 9, comparable to that of the ocean, and is one of the key factors in producing the pitted or frosty surface in sea glass. That, along with the type of rocks & sand the glass has to tumble around with. Lake Erie has also had many shipwrecks along it's south shore. It's these remnants of the past, that now wash up as gems, we search for.>>>Cleaning Your Glass...dirt, oil, etc. can collect in the pitted surface of your seaglass and change it's appearance. I just use a mild soap and water and clean them with a cloth, then rinse & let air dry. For jewelry, a toothbrush or Q-tips work great. This will restore the frosty look. If you like the wet or glowy look, you can very lightly oil your glass (I like to use scented oils). Again, soap and water will remove this and restore the frosted look. Oiling is something fun & different, and they really glow in the sunlight this way!
