As a lil' girl, my Dad would bring home cigar boxes from the liquor store that I used for all types of things. Believe it or not, we actually used to take them to school to use as our pencil boxes. I always kept the lil' trinkets in my cigar box that meant so much to me..........a shooter marble, my skate key, a needle to air up my basketball, my jacks. My box looked very similar to Scout's box in To Kill a Mockingbird . In all these years since I was young, my desire to have collections has only persisted. I have a collection of recipes in a ceramic box I made when I was first married; my antique buttons and bits of antique lace rest serenly in a mason jar with a satin padded top for my pins; my favorite photos are in a faded hat box lined with a soft cotton floral material. When my mind reaches far back to those special and warm moments that sustain me, I always think about my collections. Pinterest has become my virtual cigar box..................
This is the place where I write about all the random things that crowd my mind.....about family, friends and places. It is also the place where my newest writing projects and craft ideas can be found. It is, me, electronically.
