WINDSOR JUNCTION:<\/strong> The sea glass on Inverness Beach in Cape Breton has led to a prospering business venture for two young girls who are best friends from Windsor Junction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cate Gaudry, a Lockview High school student, and Robyn Blackwood, who goes to Georges P. Vanier Junior High, have started dipping their hands into what it\u2019s like to be an entrepreneur making crafts using the sea glass they found at Inverness Beach. The beach is one the two families spent many times at during the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen we were little, we always went to our cottage near Louisbourg and would go to Inverness Beach where we found a whole bunch of sea glass on the beach there,\u201d said Cate. \u201cIt’s like everywhere there. You move some sand, and you find some more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re just making them for fun and people are liking them and buying from us,\u201d added Robyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”31″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”127″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two add their own flavour to the sea glass crafts-like chickens or Frosty the Snowman lyrics, as a couple of examples. They\u2019ve been collecting the sea glass for about 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe also made ones with a Christmas tree on it, and then we’ve made like beach ones in the summer,\u201d said Robyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cate said there\u2019s one main reason she enjoys making the sea glass crafts with her best friend and learning about the financial side of being a budding entrepreneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI get to spend all this time with Robyn making them,\u201d said Cate. \u201cWe worked all this time finding the sea glass, so it\u2019s fun to see what we can create with all the different colours and shapes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The response to their work has been nothing but positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think we sold all the sea glass we had,\u201d chuckled Robyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”148″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”34″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cate said they\u2019re hoping to be able to collect more sea glass to continue making their crafts and selling them. However, with winter here that may have to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What are they using the money they get from the sale of their sea glass crafts for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRight now, Christmas shopping for my family and friends, getting them gifts and then also buying more supplies,\u201d said Robyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Asked about the future and being entrepreneurs, Cate said that\u2019s not something the two have talked about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe really haven\u2019t thought about the future right now,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is just a little something to do for fun, so I don’t really know what’s going to happen in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate group=”6″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”93″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”84″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [adrotate banner=”105″] [adrotate banner=”95″] WINDSOR JUNCTION: The sea glass on Inverness Beach in Cape Breton has led to a prospering business venture for two young girls who are best friends from Windsor Junction.
