Hi girls...I would like to show you some of my treasures...I have a few small cupboards in my room and I put memorabilia on them.On this one there are memorabilia from my family...the picture in front is my dad when he was a little boy...its very special to me because he died almost 7 years ago. There are also his glasses from the time he was a teenager.
There is a pocketknife from my granddad, very old jewelry from both my grandmothers and the little christmas sheep also from my grandmother...it hardly has any fur left.
The buddha is a lighter from my granddad and at the back there is his royal medal of honor. Also a very thin and small Japanese screen to put around a tea light and the pic in the back is my mom at age 18 reading a book :) The little doll which is hanging at the pic I brought home from a trip to Romania.
The two white stone pipes I used to blow bubbles with them when I was a little girl (a looooooooooooooong time ago ;) )
I moved a lot of times but these are the first things I unpack and put in place...after I've done that I feel at home.
It's wonderful that we create our own little sacred places with items that have meaning to us. I collect things and put them on my kitchen windowsill so I can see them when I am doing dishes. I call it my Windowsill Altar. Your items are so charming and lovely! Thank you for showing us!
ReplyDeleteGreat items and I know very special to you. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteI think your idea fantastic! It´s your history and you can see all the time! It´s a honor can see it too! Kisses
ReplyDeleteAw that is a gorgeous collection, what a nice idea. So sentimental, and yes, wherever you have those items will always feel like home. Excellent, you've inspired me :)
ReplyDeleteOh... wonderful! You´ve choosed fantastic items, I use to do the same, I have lots of these little sacred corners around my house, they help me to feel connected to myself (to my roots, to my inner world and my inner, true, desires)... it can sound strange, but it works ;) Yours is gorgeous, thanks for sharing dear, it´s very inspiring.
