Always putting one foot in front of the other while moving forward is a constant, it is not all too often that I ponder the foot prints left behind. Today I did! The "North East Sea Glass Society" group brunch was held at the Seaglass Restaurant in Salisbury beach, MA. We say "it is all about the glass" but today's' event proved that this group is about much, much more. It is about friendship, kindness, art, love of the beach and of sea glass. Several familiar faces and many new ones were greeted and received with a warm smile and friendly embrace. The mood was upbeat and cheerful as it always is with this group. The chatter was about sea glass finds, travel, art, sea glass jewelry and reminiscing about past events. Each member brings something special to the group and several are artists of different types. Today it was Linda Dunn that blew me away with her stunning beaded artwork. Others passed around sea glass in the hopes of learning its' source and this old sea glass artisan was honored to be asked to pass around a sea glass bracelet that was handmade several years ago. The brunch was delectable as we feasted on haddock, shrimp, meats, veggies, greens, omelets, desserts and more. All too quickly our meal came to an end. It was time for the group photo then once again many took to the beach as the chatter and laughter lingered on in spite of the November New England winds that whipped over the dunes of Salisbury beach. Yes, sea glass has been found but even more so friendships.
