Do You See What I See?

Beauty in cracks and stains...words of power...new uses for old things...moments forever captured in pictures

Have a beautiful weekend!

Sentimental Objects

I've been up to my old habit of rearranging things. Sentimental me has to have objects out where I can see them. I love being surrounded with personal belongings that are full of meaning and memories.

Hope your week is off to a lovely start. Thank you for visiting.

Collections

statues of children reading plus a favorite art print

grouping of Willow Tree angels

pillow reserved for cameo pins

alphabet pillows



More and more I want my jewelry out so I can view pieces on a regular basis...most of my things are not expensive but have sentimental value...lockets are some of my favorites.


I will be away for a few days so take care and best wishes for a great weekend.
Talk to you soon.

Stories Behind a Few Charms

Wow! To be sixteen again and know what I know now. Things might have worked out a little differently. Looking at my charm bracelet brought back quite a few memories. Two special friends shared those times with me. We are still close.

On a boating trip my dad taught my friend Mary how to water ski. She bought the charm that had two skis and divided the skis. Her bracelet has one ski, and mine has the other to commemorate that day of fun.

When my family moved after my high school graduation my friend Mary wanted me to have a charm that would signify her so I could carry her memory with me wherever I went. I love "Mary " in the little red dress.We are still buddies after all these years.

The Lord's Prayer charm was given to me by Margaret who still calls me "sis" even though she has two sisters. Marg was my comical pal who had a serious side, too. She is having some health problems right now and needs prayers.

I dearly loved my pink Princess phone...many hours were spent talking to my girlfriends...about boys, exams, ballgames, and the future. I won't bore you with all my charm stories, but thought you wouldn't mind a few.

Wondering

I was wondering if I had a charm bracelet for this stage of my life, what significant charms would grace my arm. Maybe a flowerpot, paintbrush, book, globe, cross...
