Story Telling Sunday - Jar of Hearts.

Here we are again on the first Sunday of the month & celebrating with Story Telling Sunday From High in the Sky. I was reminded of this months precious when listening to the radio in my car & this song by Christina Perri came on. It's really worth a listen if you've not heard it before. Anyway the title got me thinking & here's my Precious for October.

It all started on a trip to Edinburgh to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversay. We were window shopping in some quaint side streets when Paul spotted this rose quartz heart in a window which he bought & presented me with immediately. For the rest of the trip this love token lived in my pocket as a smooth warm reminder of our relationship.
In the last 10 years my collection of hearts has grown to over one hundred, bought for me from all over the world & made of many different materials. I now store them in glass jars on our bedroom window sill to display them at their best & this allows the light to stream through them painting stained glass pictures on the carpet.
I know to some they are just dust catchers but they always make me smile when I open the curtains & see all the jewel like colours & remind me how loved I am x
