When I first met Hadley, I vociferously let him know that I did not want him buying a dozen red roses and having them delivered. (yeah, I was bouncing off something from marriage one). So he almost never gave me flowers at all to ensure he didn't do wrong.... These were pink roses that he gave me last year as a total surprise. So naturally I hung them up to dry in the garage. Just recently brought them in the house and paired them with the basket. The basket is something we just received from his sister. It had been his mom's. Both items make me happy.

odc: dry or dried

well, we all would like to be remembered

These cuff links were my dad's. The engraving made an impression..... And obviously so did he. My plan is to offer them by Facebook drawing to my family members. I think it is time that I start sharing the many wonderful memories I have of my parents. It will be fascinating to see who would like to have them.

ODC: impression

I am trying to be ruthless in tossing out unnecessary things in this upcoming move. But this, my first digital camera, first Panasonic, my companion for my time in China, will stay with me, though it hasn't worked in a long time. I remember being so thrilled at the 12 power zoom ! Now I'm using 60 X. I have 2 newer Panasonics, love them and depend on them, but this one was a brilliant companion, work horse and travel buddy for those ten years. I like to think it remembers what we saw.

My mom collected souvenir plates from everywhere we visited. So I decided to do cups and saucers. I have passed more of them on to my young great-nieces, but I kept just a few for the good memories.

if you loved me

why'd you leave me?

wouldn't it be nice if you could hold all the beautiful things, everything you love, in a bottle, and never let it go, and never let it escape you.

Since I started having my own tree (rather than my parents) I have bought glass ornament(s) every year. This star is the only remaining one of three, its fellows having been broken. It is probably 20 years old or more.

so for 26/116 keepsake and more bokeh for WAH

Made with Repix (repix.it)

Which you probably can get from any coastal gift shop

The sunrise shot I keep making things out of. With the texture, it reminds me of an old ceramic tile. I've always wanted to paint on tiles, maybe someday I will.

Have a great Thursday!

"There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn." Psalm 46:4-5

It's only the world's systems that are shaky. The Kingdom of God is solid and immovable. If we live there, we can be safe and secure.

This is a dedication to my faithful flickr friends!!

keepsake

The hummingbird wreath was a gift from Daryll's coworkers. The black urn will go to Jamie and I'll have the silver urn. Tomorrow we will spread Daryll's ashes. It'll be our 26 anniversary

This photo shows 2 treasured keepsakes. It used to be a tradition to send a portion of wedding cake to family or friends who were unable to go to the wedding. Cake was sent in tiny boxes, with specially printed gift cards. The photo shows a gift card printed for my parents' wedding (over 70 years ago) with the horseshoe & turtle doves decoration from the cake. G? - obviously, the initial of our surname!

One of my favourite items from Roy Lewis.

The majority of Keepsake Press publications are fairly sober, text-heavy booklets of poetry but for more personal productions he got out the ornament case and had fun.

a memory from a funeral---my sister-in-law's hand.

I love this family antique. It was in the corner by our dining room table my entire life. Many, many happy memories were made within sight of this cupboard.

Do you have a corner big enough to hold a piece this size? This was truly the only place in my entire house this piece would fit when I finally got it moved from KY to TX last year.

ODC: corner

Instant film at the end of a shoot for a campaign is always a fun keepsake for me. This is all instant film, so clearly editing and perfection weren't a part of the workflow. These keepsakes help me to remember all I've done ....one day I want to produce a coffee table book of these...

These are the two oldest dolls in our collection of family keepsakes, we have no idea how the rag doll on the left lost an arm, but suspect the moves may have had something to do with it.
