Hand made Memorabilia

I thought I was done with Maldives. But no and promise to keep this short & sweet.

My lovely readers who have not gone through my accounts of Maldives can read it up  here, here and here

One of the frequent fun things we did at Maldives was snorkeling.    While I snorkeled in the shallow waters, J would swim up to the permitted depths of the sea from various points of the Island resort we were staying.   I usually returned back after few minutes to the shore and was hooked to reading, while watching out  for J.  I would see him as a tiny speck moving in the vast blue tapestry laid out by nature.

On the second day when he came back from his snorkeling trip, he brought me some shells that he picked up while snorkeling, which was cute and I started collecting them.  One of the trips, he came back with a little bottle, which looked like a small Jam bottle. I kept it all together everyday, including the stuff he would fancy and pick up from the strolls on the beach.

And here is what he and I together picked up from the seas and beaches of Maldives. 

The haul, forgot to put my fistful of sand
I carried

After we came back, they all were cleaned and with some artistic additions added, voila, here we go with a memorabilia, which now has a prime place in our crockery cupboard.
