I have always loved reading old diaries of distant lives. Here you can read my ongoing story, a log of riding a log (if you will) with musings, tales, poetry, jargon, secrets, cliches, whatnots and whatever else might pop into my head. So next time you are stuck indoors, pull up a warm chair and read about the simple happenings of my life in the Pacific Ocean.

Gina

As any true lover of the sea, the natural beauty of the ocean inspires Gina Walton and her charming imagination. Although she has seen many oceans, being raised in England and traveling much of the world, she now resides along the Pacific coast in Redondo Beach, California. Loving every aspect of the ocean, weather it's surfing, diving, fishing or snooggleing (a sport she invented with her surf-rat hubby: snorkeling on a Boogie board), she loves to be creative and quirky. She brings this into every aspect of her life with natural and funky style. Her home is full of wonderful little surprises like fishie cabinet handles, pillows hand-embrodered with delightful creatures, paintings, her pet rocks with faces, sea-glass and shells: anything she can do to blur the line between ocean and home. Her recent artistic endeavor has been gathering and piecing together various jewels of the beach. She takes these rocks, sea-glass, shells and such to fashion together in a whimsical way so they may be enjoyed, even out of the water. Colors and sEach piece is as unique as a new swell, freed to express it's own organic beauty.

As well as using these natural decorations in her own seaside home she sells them locally and on etsy as Natural Treasure.
