I started when my mother died.I have hers, which I use almost daily,my grandmothers, my mother-in-laws, a cousin of my dh's
a few people have given to me, including some that are souviners{sp.}One of which my dgd thoughtfully bought me at the beach. One that came from Spain, an exchange student brought to me. Yes I think they are very unique little collectables.
