Admit it. When you go on a trip to the beach, you can't help gathering some sand, stones, dead shells and dead corals.
Until a while ago, my beach keepsakes are either lumped together in a bowl where my dad puts his beach keepsakes (and therefore lost with everyone and can no longer be identified) or stored in a plastic bag. Ack.
Today, I finally had time to buy some glass jars for them (at least for the ones stored in plastic).

| Represent: Puerto Galera and Malcapuya Island No Boracay because I got sick during the last day and forgot about gathering some keepsake. :( |
I found the idea on Tumblr and Pinterest. I wish I had learned about this before I started college so that all the keepsakes from my field trips (I had a lot of field trips to the beach during college... don't ask me why, I just did.) got documented. But oh well, it's not yet too late. :) At least, now, I don't have random plastic bags with pebbles and whatnot inside my room.
Maybe I should put cute labels inside the jars.
That's a very nice way to keep and display them! Good on ya for doing it! Which reminds me... My friend gave me a heart-shaped coral (yes! It was really heart-shaped, galing!) he found while we were walking around the windmills in Ilocos. I know it's in my room somewhere. I should find the motivation to finally organize it as I feel like I lost half of my stuff ever since I moved back to my parents' house -_-
ReplyDeleteWow, heart-shaped coral! That's really worth a keepsake. Good luck with organizing! I must admit, when it comes to cleaning/organizing... starting is the most challenging part haha :))

DeleteGreat idea! Imagine a cabinet full of glass jars/bottles keeping beach keepsakes safe :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've been resisting the urge to have a glass cabinet customized as a mini-gallery for my memento! :))
