A Few of My Favorite Things

Image
  The Secret History by Donna Tart:  This is one of my favorite books. I have read it several times and it has become a comfort of sorts to me.  My moms sea glass: I was given a small jar of sea glass that belonged to my mother before she died. She used to keep it by her bed so thats where I keep it as well. Perfume: This is my favorite perfume of all time. I wear it almost every day so it has become pretty important to my daily routine.  Gold rings : I have a small collection of solid gold rings. Each ring was a gift during a significant time in my life and they have become a part of me.  Bottle of dimes: This little corked bottle is where I store all of the dimes I find. My family has always thought that dimes are a sign that someone you've lost is looking out for you and I always find so much comfort when I find one.
