A Day Trip, A New Discovery and BTW

Last Friday, the family and I took a day trip to LBI, NJ.  The weather was perfection.  We packed some snacks and a lunch and off we went.

We ALWAYS walk out the rock jetty from the light house, to where the bay meets the ocean.  If you have been to see Old Barney, you know where I mean.

Its always a beautiful walk, with little tide pools and lots of cool rocks.

When we got to the end of the island, we had a happy surprise.  The tide was WAY low and there was a ton of "stuff" to salvage on the beach. We found sea glass and shells, and lots of junk (which we try to clean up while we are there).

 The kids could go out sooooo far and never be in deeper then their knees!

If you want to find out about my new discovery, please click here and hop over to Love My Art Jewelry.  Its about a piece of jewelry~ and the beach........................but I won't tell you here!  Sorry!

And, it is Bead Table Wednesday again!  Here is what's on my bead table.........patina'd wings and such. 

I should be doing an Artisan Accents shop update by the end of the week, and these should be part of that.  So stay tuned!


So, how's your summer going???  Any fun trips?  Has it inspired anything new in the studio?
