Objects of Wonder

Have you ever received, or chosen, an item to remind you of something important? Maybe to remember a significant trip or adventure? Or perhaps something to anchor a particular moment in time?

I love to gather leaves, sticks, shells, stones, or postcards from significant locations. I also love vintage keys, trinkets, notebooks, bookmarks, stickers or art that speak to me about something significant or that simply brings me joy. I think of the stories behind their creation; and imagine the story it evolves into when I encounter it. I love collections. I have bowls of pinecones and acorns around my house. Tangible items that remind me of things I want to remember. Pieces of nature I desire to connect with. Moments that remind me of childhood, or of who I am becoming.

Some objects are small pieces of wonder to remind of who we are and where we belong.

Some doorways lead us home.
