There are few things more beautiful than glass. Someone once told me that glass is actually one of the strongest materials, but I can’t explain why because I don’t remember the specifics. Some glassware approaches an impossibly perfect form. I like paperweights, perfume bottles, and pitchers. I’m resuming my collection soon, but first I need to save some money.
Just grab a few. Preferably thrifted. You would think that you would never use them, until they’re the only dish you reach for. Mother of Junk in Williamsburg has a beautiful collection.
Walk on the beach, pick up rocks. Hike, pick up rocks. Find a red, then an orange, yellow, green, and so on. It's very meditative and relaxing! Bonus points if you leave pretty ones somewhere for someone else to find.
This isn't an ad!!! I switched over to Capital One almost 10 years ago and haven't looked back. No foreign transaction fees and I rack up points quickly to cover my flights.
