I attended last year as a Vendor, had a great time meeting lots of folks I had communicated with through email in previous years. Met Richard LaMotte! And got inspired to attend the 2010 event.

The festival has great potential to grow each year; it was very well attended this year. It would be very nice to have some music outside the tent for those of us who brought husbands who just wanted to sit outside and relax....

I have a Seaglass collection and I cannot find a more enjoyable way of spending an afternoon than walking on the beach, hoping to find a new treasure. I can't wait to see what's in store on the week-end. I just heard of the festival yesterday but being from New Brunswick I plan to attend even if it’s last minute.

It is an absolutely great children's book (not sure how old your granddaughter is) about a grandma and her granddaughter who comb the beach looking for beach glass. I gave it to my then 9-yr old granddaughter last year for her birthday along with a little bottle of glass. She frequently accompanies my daughter and I on our quest to find glass along our beautiful PEI shores. She loved it Marilyn, have you seen the book *The Story of the Sea Glass* by Anne Dodd.

When I was 13, I had to illustrate a book I read for school. I fashioned Beowulf out of sea glass. I can still see 'him'. I was way ahead of my time. I am really looking forward to this festival. Sterling Hello,
I’ve been collecting sea glass for 55+ years. When I was 13, I had to illustrate a book I read for school. I fashioned Beowulf out of sea glass. I can still see ‘him’. I was way ahead of my time.
I am really looking forward to this festival.

I often talk to my Mom when I am walking the beach, and she also has ways of staying in touch with me. Hopefully we will meet at the Festival. Hugs, Alice Dorothy – what a beautiful story.

I look forward to meeting you at the festival. Our family will have a table there. my mom is 95 years old. One of her greatest pleasure is sorting sea glass. When we find a heart we get so excited and so does she. It has so much personal meaning to us. I will say a special prayer for you during this difficult journey. Anita your story touched my heart.

For two weeks after his death, I walked that beach looking for glass and there was none to be found. I missed him and I missed my glass. One day in my grief, I talked to him as I walked along the shore, and I asked him to let me know that he was okay. A short time later I found a white heart shaped piece of sea glass. Teri Hall combined the glass heart with the claddadh pendant that my husband always wore to let the world know his heart was taken. It survived the fire that he perished in. Teri said the white colour means inner peace and divinty and the heart is a message from heaven. It was for me. I look forward to attending your festival on the anniversary of my husband's death, and I will be wearing my heart.
