In addition to my scarf collection that hangs like a tapestry above my bed, I have an abundance of shawls and sarongs. When I opened this basket of treasures recently to prepare for summer, I found one still in its wrapper. Even though I don’t wear many of them often, […] Read More
In addition to my previous rock collection, I have another grouping of rocks that I picked up on trips, along with shells and bits of bark and other seashore and forest treasures. The problem is I can’t remember which shell came from which beach, or which rock from which trail. […] Read More
I collect gem stones: rose quartz, amethyst, celestite, aquamarine, selenite. Others I will have to look up to recall. The rock with the beads is a gift from a friend from Houston. I have given a few away to my nephew who was a budding geologist when he was younger. […] Read More
