Had a major tidy out recently - garbage bag in one hand, box of tissues in the other - very cathartic even as it made me weepy.
And the treasures I found, shut away in drawers or hanging in closets!
Baby shoes, christening gowns, Kindergarten artwork, Mother's Day cards, Cub Scout badges, graduation tassels, photos, vacation postcards, sports jerseys, seashells, musical instruments -- all the memorabilia accumulated through the years!
Next stop -- my local custom picture framer!
My neighbor had some wonderful frames and shadow boxes made - a focal point of her livingroom decor, and a great way to be surrounded by wonderful memories, and also beautiful gifts for family members. She gave her daughter a gorgeous shadow box filled with family memorabilia for her wedding. Now I'm thinking about what to frame for my son as he heads out into his own place.
