They seem to carry some sort of magic that takes me back to when they were toddlers and very young. They take me back down memory lane and remind me of how precious time is and how quickly it flies. <br Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281951290036529118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-64723734507562074012013-02-09T02:45:01.297-05:002013-02-09T02:45:01.297-05:00I remember that I bought my mom a purse one year -...I remember that I bought my mom a purse one year - I'm sure she thought the same thing. At the time I thought it was beautiful, but now I imagine it was quite ugly :) I think she carried it for one day :)<br /><br />Newest follower via Noelle's book review. Your book sounds wonderful.

Beats me - but you're right; it is ugly. <br /><br />When my mom went into a nursing home, my sister found an ugly green "blob" in a dresser drawer. "What's THAT?" It was a parakeet she had made in elementary school. She laughed and laughed, and then dropped it into the trash.Lady Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608765381189723792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-54766882416100585332013-02-05T16:41:50.039-05:002013-02-05T16:41:50.039-05:00That is hysterical!

It's "ahem" grotesque, but I keep it simply because it was hers. It reminds me of her and my childhood home every time I see it.

Somehow it all gets so much more beautiful as the years go by. The whole shelf has become a talking point for visitors and the source of a store of memories now that Will is grown and flown the nest.
