we aren't well traveled -- it's something we're currently working on. but every time we go somewhere new, instead of souvenirs, we collect ground. since we've been married we've traveled to mexico & hilton head island. each place we've gathered a handful of sand & put it in a bottle for keepsake. not photographed is our dirt from central park. it's still in a baggie because i've yet to find a cute bottle to house it in. not sure who decided we should do this, but i'm glad it happened. this is become a special tradition that allows us to store our memories.
we just collected mulch from nashville & now we're headed to indiana for a wedding. can't wait to collect our sample from there too!
do any of you have any unique or special ways of remembering your vacations?

Love this! I went to Greece a few years ago and actually saved some of the sand in a bottle to bring back. Such a sweet, fun memory!
ReplyDeleteThis is the coolest idea ever! Seriously, so neat. I wish we would have been doing this for years.

That's such a cute idea! I collected sand and the cutest little seashells from my last trip to Maui but I never would have thought to collect dirt or mulch. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you two are having a great trip!
this is an excellent idea. I absolutely love this little tradition
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome tradition! So unique, and definitely something you'll cherish! And I love the bottles you have them in, too! Perfect decoration. :)
