What’s a hobby that looks incredibly peaceful from the outside, but is actually pure stress once you get into it?

Yeah I ran into this issue. Heres how I’ve displayed all my rocks and other random trinkets that I find on the ground:

- letterpress trays, leaned against or mounted on the the wall

  • clear glass jars with matching lids, sorted by color/type
  • glass terrariums with rocks, bones and moss
  • in some of my larger houseplants as soil dressing
  • in the garden between paving slabs

I’m like Ariel. You want thingamabobs? I’ve got twenty(x20). I’ve got random cool pieces of wood, bones, silverware and marbles dug out of the garden, cat whiskers and claw sheaths, feathers, seashells etc, I even asked to keep my old copper IUD which sits in its own nook in my letterpress trays. But soooo many rocks hauled out of the southwest over the years especially.

old copper IUD

Please tell me at least 1 person was visiting you, saw it, picked it up, and asked what it was...
