There
are some people in this
world who can’t stop collecting
Florida’s natural treasures. From shark’s
teeth to seashells to unique rocks and
pieces of water-smoothed wood, there is more
than one obsessed soul out there who has a
garage or spare room full of things that are simply
too unique and naturally perfect to just leave in a
box or on a shelf.
Some of those people strive to find a spot in a
corner for a piece of driftwood that looks like a
bird, or a jar of multi-colored pebbles. Others
have become artists without even realizing
it, as they incorporate those little
pieces of nature into bigger,
grander things.
