Need Help: In search of river rocks (that aren't in a river)...

peaches85

Hi ladies!  I normally post on the NNJ board, but I realized that you may be able to help me out with my search as well.  Aside from rolling up my pants and throwing on a pair of boots to go out into the woods in search of them... does anyone know anywhere in the area (since I imagine shipping charges would be tremendous) where I could buy (or get for free) polished river rocks in bulk/wholesale?  I might even go for unpolished, but I'd prefer polished.  They're for the centerpieces that I'm planning on doing. 

I'm looking for something similar to these... http://rocktumblingsupplies.com/polished_river_rocks_mixed_large.html

Or these... http://rocktumblingsupplies.com/polished_river_rocks_black_large.html

Again, I wouldn't mind unpolished, but I'd prefer polished since I think they look a bit nicer.

TIA!

You may also want to try A C Moore or Michaels.

I would try calling around to the landscaping supply stores, they may have these rocks.

The Christmas Tree shop has them. I was there today but didn't notice the price. GL

Ikea! The plant sections have them.

Not sure if you will check this- but I read (in my Franny the Shopaholic section of the Press of AC) that river rocks and sea glass are on sale at Michaels this week.  Hope that helps!  (Of course, since they are on sale, they are not eligible for the 40 or 50% off coupons you might have...but it might be good to stock up on some)

Try the Dollar Tree. I see them there all the time
