I just saw this post on Facebook. Ohhh, Pompeii!!!! Hiroshima!!! I am thinking about going to Sandfest 2022 in Coos Bay, Oregon.
Tomás, from Sevilla (south of Spain) and this his my story around the sands: when he took a trip for first time, a friend of mine told his about to take a little bit of sand as a original souvenir... He thought it was a great idea, so much that he always do the same each every single trip, since that moment. Bit a bit, this becomes a collection. It's important to him that every bottle in my collection is one of his trips, all of these sands he have, were taken by him. It's a small collection (specially compared to yours), but each of these bottles has a great meaning to him (and memories, too). Few days ago, he was wondering if there were other people collecting sands, and... he found International Sand Collectors Society on Facebook. Its great to see your collections, ways to show them, and everything about this.
