Eclectic Collecting with @TealBamboo

Tina is a military pilot whose work has taken her around the world including to Japan and California. She enjoys beachcombing as a hobby and as a great way to recharge after a long work week. In this fun video, she shares some of the many treasures she’s found and their histories, including glass floats, favorite sea glass, seashells, agates, fossils, Japanese figurines and toys, game pieces, pottery, tiles, and more.

This video was part of the 2021 Beachcombing Holiday Marketplace & Festival on November 27, 2021. Learn more at http://www.bit.ly/beachcombingfest
