The Sands of Time

Last week I was catching up on some of my favorite blogs and found this entry on the Everyday Artist blog - www.lesliefehling.com  Leslie posted a photo of a jar of sand collected on one of her vacations to the coast.





It sparked an idea for collecting and storing souvenirs from nature while taking family vacations. I searched the internet for glass spice jars and found some really cool ones like this one from www.gadgetskitchen.com :
What a unique wall piece this would make to display collected sand, colorful soil, small pebbles, tiny twigs or dried versions of leaves and flowers from travels around the country. To label the bottles, purchase small return address labels and write down the location as Leslie did in her photo above. This collection will remind you of all the great memories of your trips, and will also become a unique conversation piece too.

Hi Margie,

I loved Leslie's post too about the labeled sand jars. We like to collect treasurers from the beach to bring home too. In fact, I just posted today about our sand mason jars. You can check it out at www.madellas.blogspot.com
