I read a blurb in a newspaper the other day (I think it was USA Today) that said sea glass is getting scarce and harder to find. This is due, apparently, to less usage of glass in packaging these days. This is just a small pile of what I collected on the beaches of Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia in the last couple of years. This part of the world is still very busy putting all sorts of items in glass bottles and jars. And apparently they are busy tossing the glass into the Adriatic Sea, too, because believe me, there is still a lot of sea glass to be found on the beaches there. The best beach ever for sea glass is Jaz (pronounced Yawz) Beach just north of Budva, Montenegro. It's everywhere and believe me when I say this: There is no competition getting it. The other beachgoers looked at me like I was nuts and I even had one man ask me what I was looking for. When I told him he just stared at me. I'm sure it was incomprehensible to him why this crazy American would value a bunch of broken glass.
Mmmm....but just look at it. And a big plus is that you can occasionally find little bits of pottery on the beach, too.
I would give just about anything right now to be there. Heaven.
