Lobster Collection

My friend Charisse Smith was enjoying a relaxing vacation in St. Croix. She was snorkeling when suddenly she spotted a lobster and decided it would be a good idea to try to grab it. Fortunately, she failed but the story quickly became a legend.

While shopping for gifts later in the trip, she spotted two small glass lobster and bought them as remembrance of the lobster that got away, A collection was born.

Back home from the small Laurence County Borough of Enon Valley, my friend has transformed her home into a tropical paradise, decorated with mermaids, seashells, palm trees, tropical birds and most notably, lobsters.

The collection is remarkable and Charisse is not all selfish about sharing it with visitors. The array of collectibles includes lobster rugs, mugs, candle holder, totes, T-shirts, aprons, sugar bowls, glasses, butter servers, salt and pepper shakers, decorative bottle holders and soap dispensers.

The rest of Charisse family as well as her friends (including me) seem thrilled with her collection obsession.
