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!
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!

It's blurry, but I still like the heart-shaped leaves, the light, the color and bokeh in this photo.
Keepsake from a special holiday in Mauritius. It's a small glass beaker made on the island with some sand, a few shells, a coin and not really visible in this shot but a piece of coral too. Kept on our Bathroom windowsill.
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.
The power of the world is done in a circle. The wind whirls, stars rotate; the sun and moon- both round, comes forth and goes down again. Likewise, ancient recurring cycles of events penetrated the Crooked River and created the flanks of these majestic, multi-colored formations.
This is a panorama of 12 images that took me over 2 hours to get just right in freezing temps and very cold water. This is definitely one of my favorites of the year and hopefully the first of many.

For the Macro Mondays Theme: Keepsake
This old camera belonged to my grandmother. This Tickyphot 35B was manufactured between 1972 and 1977. It was mainly used for (many unsuccessful) holiday snaps and family occasions. It still works, but I haven't tried it with film (yet) because I've gotten so used to the digital age that I probably can't really handle it.

For Macro Mondays June 26 theme "Keepsake"
This necklace belonged to my grandmother, and she wore it often. It's not something I would wear, so it is kept safe in my jewellery box.
Analog watch and clock repair is an dying art... I am slowly becoming a dying breed. The carriage clock is from around 1900. It is not marked with the country of origin but from old catalog illustrations it is more than likely French. It is a musical clock with a delightful tune on the hour. The hanging pocket watch is from the same period. On the dial is a photograph of Lilian Adams... an elderly friend of my father at the time that she gave him the watch. The ambrotype has long been dead as an art.
