Fantastic

I was thrilled to see the article on the cameos from Italy! I have never seen an article like this before. When my father was in Italy during WWII he brought several cameos home that men were carving on there doorsteps. I found them in my mother’s button box. I had one made into a ring and one made into a necklace. It was so nice to see there is still interest in them!

Great Opportunity

As a new subscriber I loved that I could get last years issues. Only wish they would put the December issue for purchase sooner.

Had to buy issues that I never received from subscription

While in the process of moving, I did not receive 2 issues. Rather than re-sending them to me again, I was told I had to purchase them. Seems like double-dipping to me.

Excellent articles. Really enjoy your worldwide view of seaglass places to visit. My wife and I enjoy traveling to different countries looking for seaglass.

Purchased another magazine for a friend who wanted to know all about seaglassing

Purchased for a new seaglasser so he could know how to start.
