Awesome functional keepsakes

STARTING A COLLECTION is cathartic. I enjoy visiting places, and one of my favorite activities is to discover and meet the local artisans who exercise their creativity using locally available materials. I procure these objects as souvenirs that serve as functional keepsakes. My only requiremen­t is for these objects to keep me in awe. One such collection revolves around ceramics. Handmade pottery is so inspiring. Its beauty is imprints of individual­ity. Its uniqueness leads to its collectabi­lity. Choose wisely, edit these possession­s, and give way to sensibilit­ies. Use your collection­s and elevate your celebratio­ns!
