    Ah Colleen ! Yes sometimes parents buy something that you don’t really like but you hide your disappointment because you know that they got it for you with love and hope that you’ll like it. This trunk looks quite substantial, big enough to contain all sorts of treasures and perhaps you have taken it with you, mentally in all the travels that you have done, filling it with exotic shells, african masks or colourful jewellery locking your childhood dreams.

    Love the photo of the deer and its infant, how sweet it is and how lucky you are to live between two game trails.

    Wishing you all the best! A piece of me has moved with you. I have long wanted to leave winter forever.

    Wow, that’s amazing that you still have that trunk. I love that connection from the past to this new life / home you’re creating. Very sweet. I wish I had kept some treasures that didn’t make the cut over the years — but as someone once told me (ahem, you…) “You can have still have the memory, without having the thing.” I’m paraphrasing, I’m sure, but I know I’ve shared those words with others who have filled their lives with storage units of stuff that they were afraid to part with. I’m glad your trunk made the cut. 🙂
