A Little Collection

While cleaning off the hutch on my desk,
I moved this little collection of mine to dust.

Each piece (minus the skunk!) represents something important to me and I'd like to share with you.

(From top right. Click to enlarge.)

Skunk:
I got thise little ceramic skunk at a thrift store in a bag with a bunch of other littles. She was one of the only that made the cut!

Bottle cap:
I got this cap off of a Mike's Hard Limeade. I got it while we were trying to get pregnant and I took it as a sign.

The squirrels:
Ever since I was a little girl, my Mother has occasionally talked in this chipmunk voice. My brother, sister and I love the secret little voice and I've collected chipmunk and squirrel things ever since as a tribute to the awesomeness.

Fortune:
I collect fortune-cookie fortunes and this was one that I got right before I talked ot Leigh-Ann for the first time. 

It reads, "A chance meeting with a stranger will soon change your life." <3

Button:
"Crafty girls are hot."
Enough said.

Heart rocks:
The middle rock was one that I found. I wrote down the date that Dustin and I first kissed and began our amazing relationship.
The second rock, Dustin picked up for me. He just handed it to me one day when we were out and I've kept it ever since. *swoon*
I love him more than every pebble on every beach.

Mini "yes" chalkboard:
I bought a few of these little wood plaques from Michael's and decided to paint them with chalkboard paint one day. After my miscarriage last year, I decided that I would tell myself "yes".

Yes, you deserve to be happy.
Yes, you deserve to have a baby.
Yes, you will get what you want.

 

I was right.

I really love this post and I'm thinking about doing one of my own. I collect little pocket-sized treasures as well that are all dear to my heart. I'll link to you when I put it together.

Thanks for sharing!
