Anything Beachy

I just love anything beachy. I am fortunate to live a short drive from Revere Beach, which was the first public beach. It's not the most scenic beach but it's close and I never feel like I can get there often enough over the summer. I have some new beachy creations for sale in my Etsy shop. Here is one -
Some of the seashells, used in my seashell photo frames or mirrors are collected along Revere Beach. Kindly visit my web page to see others at http://www.angelsneverlastings.com



Over the past few years, Revere Beach has hosted a sandcastle event. It's amazing what these creative people can do with sand. I ventured to take a look at the creations this July and here is a picture of beach goers and the winning sand castle.



There were other beautiful creations and I intended to return later when there were less people to get more photos but I never did. They normally last on the beach for weeks. Unfortunately, this year some loser destroyed most of them the following week. Here is a web site with some info about Revere Beach and the festival - http://www.celebrateboston.com/events/revere-beach-sand-sculpting-festival.htm

I hope you enjoyed this small view of my world.

    How awful that someone thought it was fun to destroy others work. I'm glad you got photos.

    You do very lovely work!

    I have a beachy sort of theme in one of our bathrooms. I love it. Your frame looks good:)
    Amazing sand sculpture too. I'm wondering if there was some kind of support underneath the sand...?

    Wow! this is SO cool! We have been watching some sand artist on a show on TV, but to get to see these amazing creations in person must be so fun. Thank you for sharing that beautiful turtle with us! I am amazed!

    I think they bring in special sand every year -- they don't do it with the beach sand. I think it holds up better.

    Sand sculptures are so cool.
    A friend of mine would like the seashell frames too, 'cause she's a photographer and she loves Hawaii/beach stuff.
