When my kids were little we lived in New England.  Since the ocean was only 20 minutes away we always went to the beach - summer and winter!  It was a great place for them to run around and ge...

So, other things wash up on the beach besides frosted beach glass.  Lots of dishes, tea cups, crocks, vases, bowls and flower pots were thrown away also.  These bits are unique in that the shar...
