Growing up, my sister and I spent so many afternoons beach hopping from Gulf to Silver to Walnut beach. Some of my best memories are at Gulf, hanging beach-side with my best friends chatting about all the fun things we were going to do that summer. Oh, did we have fun plans! One of my bucket list of things to do was to walk the Silver Sands Beach sandbar. I would be in my 30s before I was in the right place at the right time. I saw it was wide open and made my move. I found the best sea glass that day! So, I kept coming back for more. My collection grew and so did Silver Sands. Now there is a beautiful boardwalk people flock to all year round. It truly is a marvel. I take my kids there all the time and snap endless pictures. I am so thankful for this beach and the time I am now spending on it with my family, that I decided to create a piece of sewn art out of an illustration I did from a photograph I took. It was about 2005, right before the connecting boardwalk happened, when it was still a rumbling...
