I’m not really a true hoarder, in that I don’t keep trash and I don’t keep stacks of old newspapers, but I do collect little pocket-sized treasures that are probably only “cool” and important to me. If I catch anyone trying to throw them out, you’re life will be over…just kidding.
I stumbled upon miss Quiet Violet’s post about her little treasures and found it really fun. Here’s some of my little treasures and don’t forget to stop over at her blog!
The Eiffel Tower Notebook: this keeps a very in depth documentation of our two week back packing trip though France and Italy a couple summers ago. I wrote about everything we did and now I can relive every moment.
Photobooth photo of my mom: this is a series of photos of my mom and her friend back in her school aged days. I love how goofy she’s being. ( my mom’s on the right )
Photo of my grandfather: I believe the story is told that he bought this car down in one of the southern states and was traveling back up north to pick up my grandmother. Prince Charming.
Strength stone: this metal stone was given to me by my aunt in one of my first years of college. I remember getting it in a time when being strong was the perfect message.
Paper Crane: I keep this crane in my house, but he’s always changing locations. I adore paper cranes and they remind me of a dear friend from college. We’d make cranes every second of downtown we had, usually out of the university newspaper (suduko section)
Cup for tea: The boy picked this set out for me at a local thrift store the first summer we were in St. Louis. We didn’t have a lot of kitchen stuff with us at the time and I was desperate for ‘chai drinking’ cups. They are the perfect size!
Fabric swatch: This is the fabric swatch of my first couch. This was my first ‘real’ piece of furniture and a graduation gift from my parents.
Buttons: The whitespace button reminds me of my years in art school during college. The gymnastics button is a symbol of the 19 years of gymnastics.
I could of pictured a bunch of things, but then you’d call me a hoarder. haha.
Do you collect things? Have little treasures packed with memories?
