That was fun and interesting. I feel the need to tell the story of the picture. So, I'll use that as the subject of my next blog. So many stories in there! Thanks for the challenge!

Please share the link for your blog post once it's up. I'm curious to hear the story of that beautiful bit of carved wood that caught my eye in your photo. Thanks for participating, Victoria!

This was so fun getting everything together. After taking the photo, I sat back for a minute and teared up remembering all my family that these items represented.

You have some beautiful photos among the items you gathered. Photos are almost always guaranteed to make me miss people, even if I never knew them.

All of that in one pic? Should be interesting.

Does it count if you no longer have the original item in your possession, but have a photo? eg my sister is the keeper of the family bible but I have a photo of it, my library cards are digital, I have a pdf of a letter that my GGrandmother wrote but the original is with my brother, my other sister has all the heirloom furniture including paintings done by great grandparents but again I have photos of them etc etc etc.
