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
Beautiful x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. My MIL has a basket of heart shape pebbles she finds in beaches but they are not as lovely as these x
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous and a great idea as men do struggle to think of new present ideas every year!
ReplyDeleteWow, Sheena, these are beautiful. I'm sure they do look amazing when the light shines through them and I bet each one has a story to tell. An amazing collection!
