I love how you laid everything out with such care... each piece is special and loved. <br /><br />When I was growing up, my grandmother and great-grandmother lived in the sweetest house in the mountains of Northern California. You had to take a walk down a long road, around a corner, and passed the old mailboxes to get to the next house. Each house was separated by the woods. I played in the woods surrounding their house when I was little, gathering pine cones and twigs and talking to the deer. Some of my fondest and most treasured memories are in that house. In those woods. When my great-grandmother passed away, my grandmother couldn't handle living in that house without her, so she sold it. And it breaks my heart everyday that I never got to properly say goodbye. I wish I could have done something like this. So, I'm looking at these beautiful, sacred pieces and I'm thinking about my sweet, charming great-grandmother (one of my heroes) and the little house with the front porch. And those magical woods, and the families of deer that I fell in love with as a child. And all the wildflowers and pine needles that would somehow find their way into my messy hair, and the shiny rocks and berries that filled my pockets. <br /><br />Thank you for this, love. It filled my heart to the brim with wonderful memories. <3kelly annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233381635659385911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451337545306011433.post-43136388632421439572012-01-16T12:47:29.311-08:002012-01-16T12:47:29.311-08:00collecting things from forests has always been suc...collecting things from forests has always been such a favourite of mine, especially from places that mean so much to me.

Absolutely fabulous...This is a fabulous idea, miss. Absolutely fabulous. When I moved here to Utah, I really didn't care about what I was leaving behind - because my heart and soul was already in Utah and no longer in Chicago. However, shortly after, my mom passed away and later on my dad couldn't stand being in the house anymore and sold the property - the people who bought said property ripped down the house, ripped up the yard and made a mental hospital. Just knowing that I can't go there, where my pets were, where my childhood bedroom was, etc. - knowing I can't show Jen where I once lived... It's all a little sad. I wish I had a piece of land, a stick, a stone - something - from there, to share with her, but I sadly cannot.<br /><br />You definitely did the right thing and I think you will be so happy as the years go by that you did this. A huge hug. <3<br /><br />~ AngieSailor Julyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201797370322000117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451337545306011433.post-14333164116071319782012-01-16T09:31:59.165-08:002012-01-16T09:31:59.165-08:00I understand this a bit.

When we moved out of my first house to the house we live in now I basically left behind my childhood--all the friends I played with, the awesome backyard we used to play in, and just the nature of being a kid. When I went back to visit a friend one day we snuck into my old house (it was still empty) and I was in search of something to take with me to the new house; something to remind me of the old house--quite silly since we had obviously taken everything in the move--but I found some old bath salts under my parents' sink that they had forgotten so I took that. : ] The smell reminded me of the house and though I haven't smelled it in awhile I think it still would.<br /><br />Anyway, I think this was a great idea, and if you are up to sharing, I am looking forward to seeing what you do with these pieces. : ]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451337545306011433.post-80637557986300180232012-01-16T08:36:45.366-08:002012-01-16T08:36:45.366-08:00yummy... there is nothing like it, or more importa...yummy... there is nothing like it, or more important...
