We Collect Just for the Fun of It!
Posted by Jody on August 21, 2011
I don’t imagine anyone needs to explain to us why we collect seashells, beach glass, beach stones and shark teeth. It’s just plain fun for so many reasons. I like to collect smaller beach treasures and put them into salt shakers and glass jars. Looking at them year round makes me smile. The memories of the seashore with friends and family are really happy ones. That’s enough to keep me collecting. How ’bout you?
