I think these are all wonderful! I have to say my favorites though....the little angel from Europe, the cigar box with the music paper, the ceramic shell, and the silver hearts. Don't you just loved treasured items that remind us of our loved ones, and just special things that make us happy? I also have a few things that I love. This post was delightful, and I'm glad I got to see some of your beloved things.

What a lovely collection, and I can relate. I have many collected items that bring sweet memories and none of them are costly. Perhaps my favorites are things like the Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus made of clay by little hands and kiln-fired. Jesus has a big 'ole grin across his baby face. I love hand-made books and old cards and ratty baby dolls from my childhood and Pez dispensers my daughter brought back from her study abroad program and a little heart-shaped rock that my other daughter found and wrapped for me on a Mother's Day a hundred years ago... Life would be rather empty without the remembrances and momentos of days long gone.

I love all your pretty things, especially the beautiful Coco pic. As for me, I love my threadbare old monkey (a childhood friend), old books from my grandma, my parents wedding pic ... None of it is worth anything to anyone, apart from me! Hope you had a good Easter. M x
ReplyDeleteyou have a great collection and good taste
ReplyDeleteas to me, I love books, paper, writing cards and all the things that are of no use anymore in digital times
Kris, we share many favorite things. Ohhh I'd love to visit your home! :)

I love this! It tells me so much more about you. Isn't it strange that you can learn so much about a person from the items that they hold dear.
ReplyDeleteLove all of your pics! My favorite? The pics of the books. I'm a book lover as well. Love things that make us smile on the inside! Thanks, my friend, for the visit and sweet comment. Completely means the world. Wishing you a grand evening. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
