Do you remember those early days, when collecting was all about holding onto memories? For me, it truly began with a memory box. It wasn't fancy, but it was brimming with treasures: colorful greeting cards, quaint postcards from family vacations, vibrant friendship bands, and even just small swatches of colors that caught my eye. Each item wasn't just an object; it was a tiny, tangible piece of a moment, a feeling, a happy memory I wanted to keep forever. It was my way of preserving joy.
As I grew older, my world expanded, and I started discovering the fascinating realms of art and design. Suddenly, my casual collecting began to take on a new dimension. What was once a simple act of keeping mementos evolved into a more thoughtful, more intentional pursuit. My "memory box" started transforming, not just in its contents, but in its very purpose. I found myself drawn to unique art pieces, items that resonated deeply with me, pieces that told a story or evoked a strong emotion. It was no longer just about sentimentality; it was about appreciating craftsmanship, aesthetic beauty, and the sheer power of creativity.
Now, my collection is a curated reflection of my journey, a blend of cherished memories and carefully chosen works of art. It brings me immense happiness to be surrounded by these pieces, each one a unique find that sparks joy and inspiration. It's a reminder of where I started and how my passion for collecting has beautifully blossomed.
This is absolutely beautiful ❤️
