Pieces of The Past

I've been feeling

 ambitious

and

thinking 

about

spring

cleaning.

The season

is 

inspiring me 

to

pull out some of the beautiful

olde items I've been

hoarding

in my little workroom.

I have tiny treasures tucked away 

inside 

antique

leather

suitcases

and 

English crocks

and

lovey old jars

and

timeworn

wooden boxes.

I love to re-examine

these special

little

pieces of

olde

gently aged

mellow

handcrafted

in a simpler time.

And just

delight 

in the

fact

that they have been

preserved

and 

cared for

and

treasured

for another generation.

These pieces 

of

the 

past

fashioned of 

necessity

for a practical purpose

in

an age

when 

nearly 

everything

needed to be practical

are now 

appreciated

simply because they are

lovely.
