Sri Sisters Sea Glass
|
 | | Sea Glass Pendant |
Quinn and Carolyn Sale collaborate to create these Sea Glass creations. "Sri" means radiant light in Sanskrit.This is the quality that both Carolyn and Quinn love about glass. A really well rounded, smooth piece of beach glass with a frosty patina normally takes about 20-30 years to be created by wave action, and true sea glass has become quite rare. Quinn and Carolyn use only authentic sea glass in their creations. Be sure to click on the photo to see more.

Furry Friends | 
Meet Panda. This little sweetheart is a mixed breed rescue dog. She showed up at a horse farm in Fort Mill SC and hung around for a few days. Someone saw her and thought that she should live with Sallie Ellinwood, with whom she now resides. She is about 6 years old and is quite the lady. She loves to kayak, chase squirrels and chickens, and follows Sallie anywhere she chooses to go. She has a sister rescue dog, a different type of mutt, named Pyrate. The little family divides its time between Merrimon and Raleigh, NC. |
