PHOTO SHARE | OLD

When I told my husband the theme this week was "old," his response was: 

"Why don't you just take a self portrait?"

HA. HA.

No.

After my failure to complete last weeks assignment with confidence, I really wanted to make up for it this week.  I brainstormed.  I came up with several ideas.  I even took lots of pictures, edited them, then just as I was going to post...decided I didn't love them as much as I thought I did.

I am very happy I waited, put my thinking cap on, and got a photo I'm proud of.

This is my "treasure box."  

I collect keepsakes in it.  Notes, newspaper articles, trinkets from loved ones passed on.  

The items I decided to showcase are from my sweet, angel grandmother Bernice.

I love this picture because it's personal.  I love that, by chance, the aquas seem to pop.  Aqua was her favorite color.  

I look at this picture of these old items and I see so much life in them.  

SO many memories.
