what would you choose?

sometimes an object is just

an object...

...and sometimes it's so much more.

this was an article that i found in a magazine i was thumbing through today and it really struck my fancy. in this article, five writers describe the meaning hidden within 5 everyday things that they cherish.

these five objects were objects that you wouldn't expect, but they are objects that they hold dear, and they all reveal a story behind them. sounds like something i would read, right? i know, i just love it!

so your probaly wondering what 5 objects they chose, here they are:

1. a deer carving

2. a red checked apron

3. silk long underwear

4. treasure chest

5. anniversary pearls

they all have long, detailed beautiful stories that i would love to share, but it would just take eternity for me to write them all down because i believe every single detail is important and i would have to write it ALL down, so im just not even going to do it. but, the point is.....

i want to make my list of 5 things, and i hope i inspire you to do it as well so here is mine:

(no particular order of course)

1. hand-written journals: i have always been the girl to keep a journal, even though to some it may seem silly, i think it is very important. you go through life and only think the big things matter, but sometimes the little things are the things that matter the most. you should write those little things down, look back on them when you need them and smile or even cry a little.

2. my trusty pair of black high heels: if i am ever in doubt on the choice of shoe to wear, i always grab my pair of black ruffle top high heels. it doesn't matter what outfit, they always do the trick, so yes i cherish them.

3. my blue willow china collection: there is just something about those blue and white plates, i just adore them, always have. my collection is small, but it's growing everytime i find a new piece in one of my favorite downtown vendor shops.

4. hallmark cards: i keep every single handwritten hallmark card i get from garrett. i love to pull them out and read them every now and then. he really takes time to write out every word and i just eat it up.

5. my star necklace: it's a very dainty short in length silver necklace i wear around my neck almost everyday. i love, love, love it.

so there you have it, whew that was tough guys!
