Hi, I’m working on a new range of products and I’m looking for genuine sea glass and shells and was hoping you could recommend a good place to source them. I live miles from the beach so finding it myself isn’t an option! Thank you in advance.
You have probably already seen it, but this came up on a Folksy search
Thank you Liz, I’ll pop over and have a look 
This shop sells bags of sea glass they have collected from their local beach

Thank you so much, I spotted them earlier and am keeping them in mind 
I remember when I was about 14 , I went on holiday with my parents to Devon and we saw all the glass between the pebbles. My mum was convinced it was precious gems that had just been worn down , collected them and took them off to a local jewellers…I bet they had a secret laugh about her thinking that we had found treasure.xx
That’s such a lovely memory Brenda, I hope they gave you good money for your treasure!

Just a thought - if you are using the shells / sea glass for your work then wouldn’t that would make the trip to the sea side a business expense? Maybe not the inevitable ice cream but the travel expenses would be tax deductable (possibly, hopefully, consult the HMRC website first).

What a fantastic idea, we’re looking for somewhere to go next week, I only need a few to test out a concept so a trip to the seaside would be great!
I bet they did Brenda @teabreaks
