To find these coastal gems, smooth stones, sea glass, and seashells, I paddleboard to pebble beaches and coves, where the crashing waves roll the gems against each other for many, many years. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *** Learn More About Salty Girl: Website: saltygirlandthelongdog.com Instagram: mainesaltygirl Pinterest: mainesaltygirl Facebook: saltygirlhandthelongdog Etsy Shop: MaineSaltyGirl
