On one rainy day in Tulum Mexico, I ventured into the jungle to visit the Coba Ruins. Along the road to Coba from Tulum, your view is mostly jungle, but there are a few small towns along the way where you can find the most delicious food and beautiful handmade art. The video for this collection showcases moments from the rainy day adventures that led me to find this treasures on a road to visit the Coba Ruins.

This amazing hand made ash tray was tucked away on a shelf with a bunch of random stuff, so I really wasn't even sure if it was for sale. It looked like it had either collected hella dust, or was the store owners personal ash tray. This didn't deter me, because if you're really a hustler you know everything is for sale, so I looked up from my dusty find and asked the owner, "what about this one here?"... She didn't even hesitate and immediately gestured me over to put it on the counter with the others I had found. 

This one is like a real treasure. There wasn't anything else like it in the store, and it was definitely not on display. But, like most treasure, even through the accumulated dust, you know what you have found is magical! When I finally got this home, I soaked the inside with dish soap and water, then scrubbed it, but the layers of dust or ash were relentless. To cover the remaining build up in a more beautiful way lol, I added the silver balls which filled all the spaces perfectly then topped it off with the leaf. The fact that this piece still has remnants of the days past sealed into it forever under the silver balls makes me like it even more. Every time you use this ash tray you can imagine someone in Mexico smoking joints with their friends ashing in this, and know that all those good vibes are included.
