A Box of Memories

I know how important it is to live in the present moment, but I have come to a time in my life when it is pleasant to look back. The world is made of hoarders and those who throw things out immediately.

I am one of the former, but frequently forget what I have kept, even though I never forget why I kept them. This gallery will be an ongoing dip into my various memories' boxes.

A special birthday	La Befana	A little basket of memories	Do not allow rough singing!
Godmother's teapot	Old shoe in a shop window	Rare	Sliding memories of some special moments long gone by
Notes	My Granny's Dresden plate	Parchment	Remembering first steps
The pen wallet	A favourite cookbook	Mother Duck	The old primary school
The figurine	The coin	The B&W album	The worry stone
The Pushkin pin	The medal	My colours	The Amethyst Ring
The Wedding Invitation	The Holiday Diary	The Box	Night Ride
Significant papers	Show a little love	Pota chaifé mo mháthar- My mother's coffee pot	The recorder of old memories

If photos are the communal memories of our time than so also are the treasured keepsakes we acquire as we travel thru life. It is good to celebrate the events and lives that have touched us, for they have shaped who we are today. With this gallery you have visualized your feelings, a remarkable concept and achivement.

Ça va sans dire...I adore the spirit of this gallery and you have confirmed your special talent for details. It’s a discreet and clever way to tell a little of your real self, without any useless and banal ostentation. Classy and meaningful understatement...
