This is a fridge magnet that my recently deceased mother had for many years. It occasionally disappears to be found later enjoying the seclusion of recently cut flowers.
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
I shot a series of images for my home Nation of England that were OK but a tad convoluted. Remembered I’d bought this slightly larger than a thimble metal helmet when we had our summer holiday on the Greek island of Zakinthos this July!
I love Greece and have probably visited it more than any other country due to its laid back attitude and of course fabulous sun!
The background is another keepsake, a fan featuring the ‘evil eye’ motif seen throughout Greek artistry.
EDIT: This sneaking into Explore in literally the bottom spot of the day made me chuckle.
The 6/26/23 Macro Mondays theme is Keepsake.
Several years ago, we took a road trip through the American Southwest, and one of the more interesting places we visited was Taos, New Mexico, where lots of wonderful works of art were on display, and it was there that my wife Sammy bought this tiny 1¼-inch turtle.
This shows the handwritten inscription on the front page of a Bible that was given to my Uncle Jimmy by his father. This was one of my mum’s treasured possessions, as her brother died in his early twenties & her father also died when she was quite young. It’s a precious link to family members that I never met.
We recently went to see Penn & Teller on stage in London, and to say it was an amazing show is an understatement! One magic trick they did involved these cards, where, after tearing them in half, keeping half of one, then seemingly at random discarding the other halves, by the end you we were all left with matching half-cards .. amazing!
From my late mother's collection of ornamental elephants. Taken for Macro Mondays theme "keepsake" (height: 4 cm ).

It had fallen from the chain about her neck
on their only night together,
a tiny crimson drop encased in old gold.
It had not been his to give,
it was not his to keep.
But still he guarded the stolen keepsake
with a sorrowful heart
and hid it in a battered old box
with the other sad secrets of his past.
Something a little different than my high key images.

This little bee was made by my son countless years ago. Why I still have this small collection of these little creatures made from Fimo modelling clay I don’t know, but I do know that whenever I come across them, they make me smile remembering happy days.
Keepsake, since many many years, bought for bike trip, and still have it.
Normally in the kitchen drawer, but for bike trips it still comes out.
Size wise, from just behind the logo, to the tip of the knife less then 33 mm, knife height 12 mm. For taking the photo, placed on a slate, but a box of matches below the knife, a kitchen sponge below a small torch to generate some slate to accentuate the falloff of the light and modify the DOF.
And this time, I will post in the group Macro Monday for keepsake.
This tiny Eiffel Tower is just one of five charms on a vintage bracelet that my mother bought while we were living in France during my fathers service time. The Eiffel Tower is 1.25" tall.
A precious keepsake, reminding me of friends & visits to Jersey - happy memories of people & a beautiful place.
It's worn down, it's old, it outdated. But it was my granddad's.
An old Dutch pocket dictionary, published by Spectrum in 1955!
Taken with another keepsake: my late dad's old Meyer-Optik Orestor 135mm f/2.8, with the help of some extension tubes.

When my grandma passed over 20 years ago, my dad offered me her sewing kit. I jumped at it. It was filled with all her little notions: bias tape and zippers, buttons and snaps, thimbles and thread...
There were 2 things that made it even more special than I had originally anticipated. First, I found all kinds of quotes and poems cut out from magazines and newspapers tucked away in the kit. I am a quote keeper and a poet. I never knew that my grandma did this too. It made me miss her so much and wish I could talk to her about it.
The second surprise find was her nurses pin. I was so happy to have something with her name on it. Being a nurse was always very important to her. She would be glad that someone kept it for safe keeping.
I still have all the things from her kit. The box she had it in was broken and unable to be repaired, so I bought a new one. I have added many things of my own to the kit over these 20 plus years, but I rarely use any of grandmas things. I like to just have them and take them out from time to time and think of her. Maybe one day I will have a granddaughter to pass on the sewing kit.
HMM!
This knife is a present given by her grand-father to my wife when she was five years old. The blade is about 2 cm long. This is the older item of her penknife collection.

Macro Monday theme Keepsake
A keepsake passed through several generations. This ring with memories will last forever!
two closely linked keepsakes: a piece of the Berlin Wall and the medal for my run through a free Berlin
I thought these were pretty cool. These were at Ashton's shower. These tiny "pacifiers" are made out of lifesavers and jelly beans! Pretty clever huh?! I woulda never thought of doing this. Maybe I'll steal this idea if/when I have my next kid!
Hope all is well with you, my friends! Have a blessed Sunday!
