i'm with you, i don't consider every day life dull at all and i love trading stones with small children.
When doing shows i always kept a basket of polished and unpolished stones on my table so the kids had something to look at while mom was shopping and they didn't try to tear apart my displays . Usually i told them to pick something out to take home.Trinket memories are important. i keep an oval Yankee candle jar on my kitchen counter or window sill and place in odd little things i find while out hiking or just out and about.
/thank you for your story today
