I'm so glad I'm not the only one looking at the landscaping rocks at stores!
Im constantly looking down
Ha, are you kidding lol, I prefer there be less.... less competition 😅
Seems completely normal to me. 😁
I do it constantly.
For real!
As a woodcworker, the way that saw is used scared me witless
This is a lapidary saw. It doesnt cut like a wood saw. It grinds. See below:
czcams.com/users/shortsqf8abF5eVbU?si=WQtS1DLjjxpF92PS
I'm not a woodcutter and he scared me too!! Like shouldn't he have something to protect his hands? One sneeze and he is missing a hand!
@@LydiaStarz if it have sensors it's most likely better not to wear gloves
Same!
@@LydiaStarzlapidary saws don’t really cut flesh, he’s not in any danger
I am so happy to know I'm not the only one who does this. Rarely do I go anywhere without looking on the ground.
Me too! Some are millions of years old and they should be appreciated!
your not the only one that is stealing others property? you proud of that?
Yep in San Francisco some people look for poo rocks. SF is the only city I know that has a poo rock map. You never know what you might step on
As someone who has a weird interest in rocks, I'm always looking at rocks (and plants) when I'm out and about. Never found anything that got my curiosity concerning rocks while out and about (people here tend to use wood mulch and not rocks) but I have found a lot of interesting plants.
@@testjeaapiel9707 oh shut it. They see rocks as useless and only fit for trampling. If they know those are actually treasures they won't leave them exposed to the elements outside.
Everywhere I walk....eyes down, I am glad I am not the only one.People always ask me if I have lost something !
😂
Hahaha.
So glad I'm not alone either! Lol I usually get "is everything okay?"
I understand completely. Rocks are as important to me as my dog. ❤️❤️❤️
@@lford2337 yes! I forget that some people do not have the same fascination as me with loving rocks. To me that is not normal….at all….😂
I think of it as, rock liberating, they are left out in the cold to fend for themselves, and you are adopting them to give a home, great job on the rock exchange.
Well said!
Could start a home for wayward rocks! 😁 🪨
Thinking of it like that, elaborate on him cutting them up. 😂
@@IntoTheMystic11.. 🤣👍🏻
@@RockhoundingLife.. Now I'm starting to think about curtain rod adornments and shower curtain adornments, different shapes! LOL! 😂
Ah.......kindred spirits. Always nice to know that you're not alone in your weird behaviours.
For sure!!
@@RockhoundingLife i wouldn't name the place if i were you. Nor show identifying features. ya just never know. They paid for that rock, it wasn't just free. that might pique some of them.
@@theCosmicQueen they aren’t going to care which rock is out there. They didn’t pay for that specific rock, they paid for “assorted rocks” to function as a ground cover or weed preventative etc. Besides he also replaced it with an equally as boring (to the majority of people) looking rock.
I'm a 70 year old American man, a Native of Iowa. Decades ago I made friends with an Old Timer Rock Hound. His entire basement was his rock shop. Someone had told him that their were no jewelry qaulity rocks in Iowa. He took this as a challenge and over a decade made 50 belt buckles with rock from Iowa Quarries. He had them mounted on the wall.
Stunning Collection. Wonderful Man.
@brucewilson1958 thank you for sharing this. How wonderful. Sorry you are missing your friend.
🪨🐕s are as unique as the stones they find beauty in & share that beauty with others.
My Daddy worked at GE; Battery
(General Electric). He had a friend at work that, as a Hobby, found and cut stones.
He started with Mama, and had a stone cut to go into a Ring, the stone was a deep Blue that sparkled Red under light. My older sister was next, but, I don't remember what her's looked like. I didn't get mine until after I finished Basic Training. I joined through the Delayed Entry Program, so, I signed my contract on January 3rd, 1975, and, was, therefore, required to Report for Duty to begin Basic Training on June 3rd, 1975, 3 days after I Graduated HS. When I got my ring I was bummed out because the stone was Orange.
Being a Floridian, the only Orange I liked was Citrus Fruit.
I had 6 MOS's B4 it was all said and done, but, the one that sent me to Germany, was the Heavy Equipment Mechanic MOS; ALL of the call #'s & letter's have changed since I was in, but I picked that MOS on purpose, to learn how to work on stuff. Anyway, one day in the Motor Pool, it fell off of my finger. I discovered it was missing just B4 Formation in front of the Orderly Room, for our 5 mile "DisCom Run", and, I went and told Top that I had lost my ring and I was going to go find it.
Top said, "You can do that AFTER the run," and, I said, "Top, my Daddy gave me that ring, and, he's Terminally I'll; I may never see him again B4 he dies; I'm going back to the Motor Pool to find my ring !!" So, I walked back to the Motor Pool, and, quickly found it... Or, more than half of it, anyway. I could no longer wear it, because, the back of the ring was gone. It was a Sterling Silver ring that only displayed the very top of the stone. Rather "Ho-Hum..."
I hand-carried across the North Atlantic 12 times and never lost it. In 1994, I manipulated husband #1 into having the stone re-mounted into a Tiffany Setting. When I got it back, I couldn't get over what a BEAUTIFUL STONE it was, now that I could see a lot more of the stone.
The Jeweler at Zales looked at it through his monocle, and, said, "Tell me the story about the Stone, again ?? " So, I did. I've used it, when it was in the old setting, to scratch glass a few times, when the top of the stone wasn't covered. It always cut the glass, but, never scratched the Stone. He said that it was beautifully cut, and, asked me if the man who cut it was looking for a job cutting stones. I said that, I was pretty sure that he was dead, because it was a friend of my Daddy's, and, Daddy had been dead for a long time.
Cool story!! Would love to see his work.
Thank you for sharing your story
Iowa gal here. 😎
No jewelry quality rocks in Iowa? Puh-leeze! Apart from our fame with geodes, we have all sorts of jasper here and there. It's why we have a county called Jasper. Red jasper is one of my favorites, and there's plenty of it where I live. 😁😁 I'd love to eventually get into cabochon making, with the water blades and everything! It's been a while since I have been able to do serious rockhounding, but I work with stones and crystals in my spiritual life and Iowa, my home state, has plenty to offer if you look past the obvious.
A pirates ☠️ life for me! I've been a urban rock liberator for years. Soo wonderful to know there are more of us out there!
A few years back,a Dr's lot, I came across a large area, in the back of the lot, full of tourquise. I left a few there. You just never know what you may find!
YO HO YO HO...
😎
Now that would be an exciting find
I had no clue there's a label for people like us. Yee Haw! I Love it! 🤩
Urban rock liberator. Legendary 🤘😎
Wow, how cool is that, it's my favorite rock.... I think mostly from out west somewhere?
My Mum and I used to go rock hunting! Boy, this brings back good memories. Rest Peacefully Mom!
Im glad our video cqn do that for you! Thanks so much for watching!
❤
❤
❤️
Was I the only one that sat there and winced expecting something tragic to happen with this guy cutting the rock using his bare hands to push it through? whew, that was stressful lmao
Check.this video out to ease your mind. Saw cant hurt my fingers:
czcams.com/users/shortsqf8abF5eVbU?si=WQtS1DLjjxpF92PS
Pure horror! Thanks for explaining (see here below under @gregorywildie37) it's not a saw but a grinder.
@@RockhoundingLife as internet is full of shocking crap, many people are "unconsciensly" waiting to see the shoking instant. As a glass cutter/polisher I really appreciate your video. Thank you for showing all the process.
Yes, you were.
It will happen, sooner or later 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Glad to know there are more out there. Thought I was weird.
Me too.
You're living my life! This week it's my dentist's parking lot rock bed that needs attention.
100%
Oh my excatly where I was looking yesterday , jinx ✨
LMAOOOO
The one your son found has a little heart in the top area.❤
I saw that too!! 💟
I saw that too.❤
Me too!
OMG 🤣🤣🤣 That is so me. I have probably missed many really valuable rock finds because I just looked for ooooo pretty or shiny, colorful, smooth rocks. I don't care what they are, I care how they make me feel.😆
Oh and any rock shaped like a heart.
😁
Awe, I also collect all heart shaped rocks!! I have THOUSANDS, over my 50+ years of collecting! 😅🩶🪨✨
I use to go rock and fossil hunting with my 5 year old grandson (my first grandchild). He still has his collection and he’s 18. I’m 75. Sure was some good times. I’ve picked up some beauties. My husband has brought me some nice ones too.
So nice of Ikea to provide a bit of rockhounding to its customers! Just before you put down your replacement rock I was thinking that Ikea management must wonder why they're needing to get more rocks all the time. Very thoughtful of you to make a trade. The cabs came out great! 😁
After I was gifted a rock tumbler, I do the same thing in parking lots and I have found some beauties.
Its a great place to look when you are too busy to get out!!
I found one of my best carnelian agates at the grocery store landscape rocks 😂 urban rockhounding is fun!
Where was this?
I grew up in the PNW and Idaho and a lot of my clearest quarts is from gravel road, driveway and parking lot finds - gotta love local quarries in gemstone states haha
@@gabrielecoddington9193 @MITCHGILLILAN
It is illegal to take rocks from a parking lot. That is private property and you must ask permission to take from there. After all, they paid for those stones you did not. Read the rules of conduct for rockhounds please.
Yeah....if you psy attention, you can find tiger 🐅 eye 👁 in the most random places.
@@terryrgee boo hoo.
My nickname growing up was Pebbles . I live on the new England coast, Rockport to be exact. I have always picked up pretty rocks though now I te d to just take pictures of them lol! Much lighter! I live in my childhood home where all the rocks from my youth got deposited. This year my goal is to create a compass rose out of them! Love seeing your work and hearing the geologic history. Rock on! 💕
Very cool! Thanks for sharing that!
I was on the Connecticut coast one Thanksgiving. When we went for a walk on the beach after dinner, I (a birder) was delighted by the variety of waterfowl in their little cove, but what knocked me out were the vivid red and deep slate-gray stripes in the sand. My hosts told me they actually did like the Marianne of the song -- they'd often be down by the seaside sifting sand. The larger red and gray granules would stay in their fine sieve. Then, they'd run a magnet over it to pull out the gray bits, and voila -- lovely red and black sand to sell to local sand artists. They were bits of garnet and iron ore pounded out of the granite face New England presents to the Atlantic. I thought that was pretty nifty, but maybe they should have been arrested.
OMG, I grew up in Lanesville. So very glad I read your comment. I'm still near by, I'll run over and put my face to the ground and hunt. Rock on, back to you !!!
The rock exchange program!! Love it.
😅👍
And the rock i put back was bigger!
I'm guilty! I'm going to get a bag of rocks from my yard and take them to the parking lot medians I took from. My best ones came from a Chuck-E-cheeze parking lot!
@@mness143 Shame on you! jk/lol 🤣
He took two rocks and replaced only one....
Would make good drawer pulls for a beautiful kitchen or bath. Dressers Too!
Thats a great idea actually!
This is what I want to see more of. Totally everyday stone turned into jewelry. Theres just a certain aesthetic to it.
I feel you 100%
My husband does an eyeroll when I look down at the rocks. I've been doing this since I was a little girl in Michigan. While the other kids were swimming at the lake, I was looking at the beautiful fossils. Wish I kept them. My mother got rid of most of them when I moved out of the house. *edit: I forgot to add my family was stationed on Prince Edward Island Nova Scotia in the early sixties before I was born. I wish I was part of that memory.
I was the same growimg up. Always looking at rocks on the beach instead of swimming.
My wife does the same for me.
Me too! ❤
They both turned out amazing. That grinding and polishing machine is out of this world!
Have you seen the show where Lucy collects rocks on vacation and the travel trailer gets weighed down so much that Ricky gets a little concerned about her rock collection on, "I Love Lucy"? Well, that is me! I have a nice pathway of collected rocks at the entrance of my home.
I think that was a movie, "The Long Trailer" with Lucy and Desi. So funny.
I've seen that one also! Yep my Hub used to say something whenever we stopped I would have to find a interesting stone.
I remember that movie ❤❤❤
Me too, I remember "I ❤ Lucy", my grandmother's name was Lucy. That has always been a great show to watch I spent my childhood watching it.
I've laughed for years over that movie. How did they even film it?
They would make lovely drawer/cabinet door handles. I would definitely buy them, really different from anything on market.
I died laughing! My best friend gets so mad at me because I stop and look every time I pass landscape rocks. "Come ON!" Not only are the rocks varied and beautiful but where I live, much of the landscape rocks contain 500 million year old skolithos fossil worm burrows! I love them! People are walking past half a billion year old fossils and don't care. 😂 I have a T-shirt that says "Wait! I see a rock!" for a reason.
Love how you traded rocks with the parking lot 😂😂😂 lmao
I've been interested in rocks since a kid on a farm with very rocky soil. We would "pick" clear rocks from the fields. Often I would spend more time studying the rocks than picking. Then in 1976 my college geology instructor got me into lapidary. I haven't worked with cutting and polishing since but seeing your channel ignites that interest . Every time I see rocks in landscaping or naturally I'm walking with my head down. Amazing I haven't been run over.
Thank you, that was very interesting what you said. 45 years ago when I lived in NYC I took a lapidary class from someone in Rockland County & loved Rockland County so much that I bought a home there.
@@MaryDougherty-ge3mh Rockland that sounds like a nice place to live….or a great board game….
Ah, never turn your nose too high from a dirty quartz. Found my first rutilated quartz in Ontario, and goodness there is a lot of beauty in the art of imperfection.
Yeah you never know with quartz that's for sure!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this. I'm always looking for "pretty rocks" even in parking lots lol.
I do the same thing, for fossils - Piles of pebbles destined for mixing into cement, yield lots of fossils, mostly broken Belemnites but occasionally a good long specimen.
ill show you a long specimen
@@ghost.of.aleksz.salad. ha ha ha !
Literally looks like the storms of jupiter. Absolutely beautiful
I find agates in the gravel down all the alleys in my northern Alberta town all the time. I love it!
So glad you did both of them, and they're big enough to enjoy their beauty. Excellent video idea! ROCK ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️
I look in parking lots for tumbling rocks almost all the time. I've had some really pretty ones too.
OMG! Yall leave this poor guy alone about taking TWO lousy rocks from IKEA. The value added back into society and young peoples life's that will be inspired to pursue careers in geology is worth more than two rocks. Hava a heart! Love the channel. Would love to visit Nova Scotia❤
As a BRAZILIAN, I really appreciate this kind of content. Thank you, beautiful work!
Thank you very much!
Cool video!
I thought the red was the best until I saw the finished results. Both winners! 👍🏻🇨🇦
Thank you! Cheers!
I don't know the names of rocks. I pick for colors and odd shapes.painted sponge Bob on a square rock
Rockhounds!! Woohoo-excellent video. I already feel less alone.
I picked up a rock on the east coast about 20 years ago. I had it in my luggage to take home on the plane. The TSA agent asked me about it. (My excuse: “I’m a teacher”). He said, “Any bigger it would be considered a weapon.”
Its good to know I'm not the only one who is always on the lookout for great rocks everywhere I go. Thanks for sharing, good find!
I pick up rocks whenever i travel. Also, I live in Nevada and there us such variety here to choose from!
I bet Nevada has some really cool rocks in parking lots!
That was absolutely fair play with that rock switch lol.
You didn't steal that rock. You RESCUED it 😊!!
Yep, sure enough you are now the Proud Rock Dad of your newest RESCUE Rock. It's 💯 Safe and Secure in its Forever Home 💞. "ROCKHOUND RESCUE ROCKS R US "
You got that right!
I'm impressed by the look of your fingers (working so close to so many sharp objects!)
Never in my life did I think I would find rocks this intriguing. I think I may have just found a new hobby. This is super dope. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome aboard!
I really love the second one, the color is beautiful.
Love the rock exchange idea! We have a lot of limestone and river rock quarries in our area-I've never understood why they don't set aside one pile just for us rockhounds and charge a few dollars each to let people "mine " them. Lots of cool fossils, agates, and geodes there going to waste! It would be a win-win for everyone!
AGREED
Oh my!!! First thing I do in a lot that has rocks is look for cool looking rocks! I have so many and I have no clue what some of them are. I also have a large collection of heart shaped rocks I'm about to put on a recycled board and hang it on my back yard patio area.
The rockhounding hobby can take on many shapes and forms. Everyone has their own style as to what they like to do with the rocks they find
When I’m traveling, especially to several states, I always check out the rocks at the rest areas (taxpayer $’s), gas station, gravel roads, etc. (almost always with permission). I have found some crazy stuff because most of it is usually local to the area. Love you brought a trade….
I always have a look as well. Especially when travelling.
Just incredible- from a rock thousands have walked by - you saw it differently and now a beautiful piece of jewellery
ANd here I was the only one to 'rock surf' parking lots! Heeheehee!
That intro was funny as hell, now I'm hooked on you're channel.
Welcome aboard! Glad you liked it!
Me every time I go anywhere!
GREAT video!!! Good to know I'm not the only one searching in landscaping rocks for keepers. Thanks so much for sharing ❤️. Beautiful cabochons by the way!
Trading the rocks was such a inexplicably human decision, gotta love it
The landscaping for my house was entirely rocks pretty much, but I have found soooo many pieces of petrified wood! I guess they just got it in bulk from somewhere in the Colorado mountains, knowing the builders probably the cheapest rocks they could get, but I have so much fun pulling weeds and stuffing my pockets with pretty rocks 😂
Any full round pieces of pet wood? Interested in a trade?
@@RockhoundingLife they are fairly small pieces, but if you have an email I can send a picture of what I have!
I love to hike our local desert and while out on my daily treks, I stack rocks whenever I see a large base rock to start. I’ve been approached by a person one day that complained to me that I was destroying nature. LOL! I still hike and stack rocks.
I love stacking rocks. It focuses me, and it's a beautiful, serene feeling when you stand back up and walk away from your "Sculpture".
I'm always looking at the ground. I'm from the US but lived for a year 15 Km south of Halifax in the 1980s. I found some nice rocks along the beach. Every time I move I pack my collection which gets larger and larger with my wanderings.
Amazing! I had no idea that the rocks at my doctor’s office could be so cool! Thanks for sharing!! Rock On!!! 😊
Haha, good to know it not just me lurking around parking lots! They turned out really pretty!
I am glad too that I am not the only one who looks at rocks around buildings. I will start taking rocks with me to replace the ones I might find.
Are you serious someone had an issue with taking a rock from a parking lot? But no complaints about people littering!
Yep. People get bent out of shape about it. So i started replacing the rocks i take.
So people can show up to your yard and help themselves? How generous of you!
Because people love to complain. It doesn't matter why. So long as they feel good about themselves
@@thewidowwindwalkerpretty sure a personal garden isn’t the same as parking lot or even an mass production corporation 🤡🤡
@@RockhoundingLifeevery rock you take 🎶 they’ll be watching you…finds a great looking rock on the ground 🎶🎶oh can’t you see, this rock belongs to me🎵🎵
✨Stunning! Great Find! ✨I too am a rock luster, Ha! Beauty truly is everywhere. All you have to do is open your heart and your creative spirit and, Wa-La!! ✨❇️✨
So true!
As i was thinking Jupiter...you said it out loud. Wonderful rock liberation day piece.
I usually go in and ask... with the rock in hand, but i love the idea of swapping.
Also, thanks for pointing out the lil agates inside Travis' rock.
Those pendants are stunning, Jason! I love how in your part of Canada you can find such beautiful rocks in the parking lot (Ontario is mainly quartz and granite). I'm going to have to show some restraint in the Etsy shop as everything is so pretty!! I've got alot of videos to catch up on as CZcams had unsubscribed me from several of the channels that I follow. I hope you and the family are well. I can't wait to see what you have in store for your viewers for 2024
Hi Ange, you are not the only one who has described this problem.of not getting notificatioms. Make sure you visit our chammel.page amd click the bell button. Should notify you whenever we post a video.
Georgian Bay is loaded with amazing finds, as well as fossils in them
Interesting, i was born & raised in Michigan & our Dad had a cabin cruiser & he would take his kids (all 7 of us) on a cruise up Port Huron to the Canadian area of the Georgin Bay. Wonderful memories as my parents are both gone now.
So glad this popped up on my feed! I used to do lapidary years ago and this unlocked memories of being a rock hound. ❤
I had boxes of rocks in my house before I sold my house and left most of those rocks around the trees. Don't worry I did pick out my fav 😊
❤you made something beautiful , good on you 😊.I love jewellery 🎉
Thank you! 😊
All that... and it's still somehow an easier, shorter assembly process than one usually experiences after Ikea.
Nice find! 😀I wouldn't have expected to find something with that sort of pattern there. Such a keen eye!
So it's finders keepers when it comes to landscape rocks. I loved them.
So I'm not the only one that picks through rocks in parking lots!
I like how you were able to respond to the people who were upset that you took rocks from a parking lot without any sarcasm or tone. I don’t think I could’ve done it. lol. There are some really intense local, nationwide and world issues. I wish people would focus their energy on important matters but instead , they repress it and it leaks out all around them. Focus people!
Beautiful, cut, and polish!
I dont get too bent out of shape about it. Most of the time its just people who are misinformed.
Except that rock was paid for by Ikea as part of their Landscaping, it is still theft. If everyone took just one rock, there wouldn't be any left in a week.
If
That’s insane you mentioned Jupiter as that’s exactly what I thought it looked like. Am absolutely blown away that these were made from two rocks found in a car park. I can’t believe ppl had a go at you for taking a rock or two , so long as your not taking them all I honestly don’t think they mind
Thanks! And i replaced the rock!
Love it! I'm glad to know there are others who love rocks!! My mom saved a bag of rocks I had collected as a child. 😅
Thank you! I’ve done the same damn thing. My wife thought I was crazy. I just love cool rocks, always have.
This is so cool and love them. Wish there was a way to try it out with a dremel.
They turned out great!
I love collecting rocks at seasides. Have a beautiful heart shaped one.
My heart leapt up at the sight of those pretty rocks. All the colors! Looked like a bowl of petrified Froot Loops.
Beauty is all around us all the time. We just have to get out of our own rat race mentality to see it.
Stop living our lives 12-14 inches from our face.
I really enjoyed how you played out this video. It was fun and interesting. The pendants turned out beautiful, too.
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous pendants!! My husband & I are rock-hounds, too. I took a lapidary class many years ago and created an oval cab from a piece of black jade, but did not pursue the craft. However, I still collect 'pretty' rocks when I find them. 😊 Glad I found your channel and subscribed so I can watch you create beautiful pieces of jewelry from the 'gems' of the earth. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
First time seeing the process, they both turned out really nice. Thanks for sharing it with us.
This was awesome. Wow. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Our pleasure!
WOW just WOW ! 💞👍🏻❤️👍🏻💞
I'm always looking down at the ground searching for neat rocks! One day I'm actually gonna do something with them. I don't have your talent, sir. Beautiful work.
That was so funny. When I was a kid my brother and I would sit on the curb and break rocks open to see inside. Fun video, thanks❤
People complained about you taking a single rock from a big box parking lot 😳😨 now I shall take a rock from every store I see. I shall build my free castle 🏰 in their names 😅😂
LOL
We posted just looking at the rocks and trying to ID them and they said I'm teaching my kid loitering and theft. 😅
Hahahaha
That red rhyolite looks just like what I have near my house in southern Pennsylvania. I’d post a photo, but don’t think that’s possible here.
You can always send us a pic to our email address. Link in description.
I posted a comment on fb rock hounding about urban rock hounding
Man!!!! Didn’t realize everybody so righteous out there!!
I was scolded 15 different ways
I've been collecting rocks all my life, I need to look at my collection and check if I have some hidden gems in it! It's a perfect opportunity to learn more about rocks.
This video rocks.
Both are beautiful but I love the lighter one on the right. Love my quartz!
I totally agree!
COOL....Loved your brain working at the beginning. Beautiful job.
Thank you!
A tale of four rock. Two rocks go on a trip and two special, different rocks come home. Lol😂
Some of the most beautiful specimens in my collection, I have found at landfills. The owners bring in dirt and rocks from all around the county. You never know what "gems" you're going to find. Loved your video. They cabochons turned out beautiful.
wtf people get mad cause you took a rock?
Always someone wanting to complain…. I look over the top of their heads, like they taught in theater class for staying calm on stage…. It helps! As the saying goes…”can’t please everybody all the time! “
So Rock on…good idea replacing the rock! 👍
Gorgeous!!! Take what ever rocks you want!! It doesn’t make a hill of difference on the ground but you sure bring out the beauty of the rocks to be worn and adorned!! 👏👏👏
@@TexasBurningFlowerif you look at an ear, it makes ppl uncomfortable 🤣an autism discovery 😅
*stole.
You spelt stole wrong
Really pretty!❤❤
Thank you! 😊
So cool! I often see rocks that I would love to have in parking lots. I collect rocks with holes in them.
Thanks for the idea!
Keep doing you ❤
Lovely pendants ❤❤
Feels so good to know there are others like me who do this too!
