Events & Media
As sea glass continues to gain in popularity, we find it and ourselves in the media more and more often. This is the page to find links to stories about sea glass, By the Bay Treasures and to also view photo galleries from past events as well as finding out about upcoming events and past events.

Last year I, (Charles Peden) MC'd the festival, gave a slideshow and lecture on extreme beach combing and handled many other details involved with putting on the festival, as such I was too busy to really get to meet people and work our booth. This year will be far different, after some unusual events took place in my life, I stepped down from running the North American Sea Glass Association and instead focused on working with my recently discovered abilities and with building By the Bay Treasures, this year expect far more sea glass and sea glass jewelry to select from at our booth.

At By the Bay Treasures we provide wonderful genuine beach sea glass, artisan jewelry, drill bits, unique gifts and more. By the Bay Treasures places an emphasis on items created or improved by nature such as sea glass, abalone and driftwood. We are excited and honored to be considered leaders in our field.
