It's been fun guest blogging over at Black Eiffel, sharing a few of my own odd little collections. (Do people think I'm completely crazy after seeing what I collect? Maybe.)
The image above is of Bee and C with their rock collections, which we keep in old shoe boxes. When we've been outside all day I inevitably find a rock or two at the bottom of my purse, stashed for safe keeping when I wasn't paying attention. I love looking back through their rocks and remembering.. this one is from our favorite playground in Brooklyn, this one we found while we were apple picking with our friends, this little round one we found at the beach, worn smooth by the waves.
People wonder why I collect things like ticket stubs and it's because those little pieces of paper take me back. Who I was with, what we saw, sometimes little details like what I was wearing or where we ate or how the sky looked when we walked back to the subway. They make me remember details I would otherwise forget.
Here's to a weekend worth remembering!
