Kick-start Summer with Sea Glass Inspiration

  The roar of the surf, the cry of seagulls, denim shorts faded to a pale shade of blue by the relentless sun. Sea Glass evokes all of these reminders of Summer.

The inspiration board above mixes up some of our sea glass inspired pieces with a view through a summer cottage window, a sea glass pendant, "Chairs Having a Conversation", and Queen Anne's Lace by the sea.

Inspired by Sea Glass colors, our hand-cut glass vases are available in Ice Blue, Chartreuse, and Clear. The large size is 10" tall and can be used as a centerpiece holding flowers, or as a candle holder. (We sell Flameless Tea Lights and Pillar Candles HERE.) The smaller size is 7.5" tall.





 There is something so refreshing about sea glass colors. The most common colors are white, brown, and green. But it's the pale aqua blue and sea foam green that come to mind when we think of sea glass. These are not the most common colors, but they are found more often than colors such as bright purple, deep red, black and orange. Try to think of any glass object you may have seen in these colors, and you will realize why sea glass collectors treasure them so dearly.
