Some of my most cherished pieces of art that I proudly display in my (Canadian) home have come from these beach vendors. I always get compliments from people who visit me and I can usually remember the name of the vendor who sold me the piece and can usually tell a little story about him/her. These people definitely add something special to vacationers' experiences! I know there are tourists who would rather not have them around, but I know there are plenty of others, like me, who really appreciate them.

Above is a wooden carved crocodile I bought from a vendor named Rise-N-Shine! My favourite!

One Love.
