"Hi Paula, Sorry for the late reply, I'm still trying to find my way around the site! What is a card table event? Sounds like some kind of late night polka game but I'm sure it's not! - suzy"

I do own a collection of seaglass which I havent had the heart to try and drill them, I think of them like diamonds, once they are drilled (well for me) that's it, a piece of history a antique with a hole in it, sorry Paula but it makes me cringe haha, even though I look at peoples sea glass creations and think wow they are gorgeous I still cringe! But i definitely think i might try the photography!! (or I could be holding on to my sea glass as I really don't want to sell it)? but your jewellery is gorgeous!
