Description

My grandparents' house in a small coastal California town was decorated with bright memories of the ocean. Beautiful shells, a porcelain umbrella stand that once belonged to a sea captain ancestor, hand-carved wooden figurines of old fishermen in yellow rain slickers. These vintage glass fishing floats were produced for the tourist trade in the mid-1900s, and I was fascinated with them as a child hanging out with my grandparents. My dad gave these floats to me recently, dusty from years of storage, and after a good cleaning they gleamed in the sun. Seeing the light shine through them in different colors brought back memories of playing (carefully!) with them as a small child. Colorful, vibrant memories of loved ones are the best kind.
