Polishing Sea Glass

My stockpile of sea glass was looking a little cloudy so I went to the internet to find out how to "polish" it and found that it's pretty darn simple.
Vegetable oil and an old rag is all you need!
It turns white-ish because of the salt that is still on the glass, but the oil removes it and lets the true color show!
I think sea glass is more and more beautiful every single day.

These are all the colors I've found so far... still on the hunt for something red or pink!

Flamingo Bay

So we are to day 61.
61 precious days left on the island.
I'll have you know I've only missed one beach day since day 77! and it was pouring down rain.

Today (and last week) we went to Flamingo Bay, in the little town of Happy Hill.
It is a protected marine area known for its great snorkeling.... but we went more for the amazing sea glass!

Both days I brought home and entire zip lock bag FULL of sea glass!
I am officially addicted to scouring the ocean for glass.

I think all 50lbs of my suitcase will be dedicated to sea glass..... :/
