Live Q&A with Tina from TealBamboo and Christina from Reverse.Gem
This is a great tool to dig in the sand and piles of stones. It’s sharp so it can penetrate even hard packed sand. I do feel a little like Wolverine when I’m using it. LOL
I ordered a couple back issues and a calendar and was so sad the mailer came opened on the end and retapped without my products. I contacted customer service as I was unsure if they may have been stolen and Kirsti was absolutely amazing! She resent my entire order in a bubble mailer and everything arrived safely! The magazines and calendar are excellent quality and filled with gorgeous photos and info. Thank you SO much, Kirsti! I put a Beach Combing Magazine subscription on my Christmas wishlist this year!
I moved away from the coast and miss it so much. After purchasing a few back issues I was hooked. Back to the beach and then some. Great articles about various topics. Well written and interesting. Actually love love the magazine.
I look forward to reading the articles every issue that comes out. The magazine is always beautifully done with excellent articles and amazing pictures. It is a treat that I look forward to.
I had my eye on Beachcombing Magazine for awhile, then the email came about the Clearance Sale. It was the perfect opportunity to try the magazine out at a very reasonable price. I very much enjoyed the issues that I ordered, service was very prompt and delivery was timely.
