I love old things…old jars…cameras…quilts…chairs…well anything vintage for the most part. I love things that have a history. These particular jars were my Grandmother’s. I think I can remember them out on her counter or in her pantry when I was a child. I love the blue green glass and the metal tops, they are so pretty. Things from the past have such a simple beauty. It may be silly, but I wish there was a way I could hear the story of where they have been and who has used them. Things used to be made so much better than they are today. They were solid, heavy duty and durable. I wonder if some of the things we use today will still be around when our grandchildren and great grandchildren are grownups. I don’t think it will be the same. We live in such a disposable society these days, things aren’t made to last. I guess we will see.

52Q week 2
Monday, January 12th, 2009Em’s question for this week is…
Am I afraid of change?
{I will be back to share later.}
Touching…
Sunday, January 11th, 2009I saw this photographic essay a while ago. I know some of you have seen this before, but I thought I would share it for those of you who haven’t. I was so incredibly touched by this by this man’s photographs and words documenting the life of his father. Get some tissues.
Days with My Father.
My 52Q…
Saturday, January 10th, 2009I made the first few pages of my 52Q journal. I am so excited about this project, I think it will be neat to see what Em comes up with for us to journal about each week. Here are my pages for the first month of my journal. I am using the templates Cathy shared from another project a while back. I can’t find the link right now, but will look again and see if I can find it in case you want to use them, too. Curious to see what the question for week #2 will be. I think Em said she would be posting it tomorrow or Monday.
{I will be back tomorrow to share the pictures… it is too dark to take pictures of them tonight.}
