Welcome to the May’s edition of a year of moments – where the lovely Natasha and I each make an image to share here and on Instagram – this months theme for our collaboration is ‘Treasure’ and the hashtag is #ayearofmoments_treasure -remember to include @lobsterandswan and @candypop.uk – and come over and join us!
My picture is a gathering of things that are very dear to me, the little acorn necklace was a gift from my husband a few years ago and I wear it often, it reminds me that with hard work even the tiniest ideas can become something magical. The lace was given to me by a friend of the family that used to make amazing lace and other things, she has almost completely lost her sight now, so I was very honoured that she bestowed her antique lace collection to me as she sadly could no longer make use of it, but rest assured it has a very loving home here. The tickets are from a visit to country garden last year on our anniversary, if we are too busy to go away somewhere for a few days, we always make sure to down tools and find a country house or beautiful garden to explore. I would love to see all the things you treasure so come over to IG and play along with #ayearofmoments_treasure x
Below, this delightfully happy little dog is by Wade and is from Lady and the Tramp, it belonged to Natasha’s Grandma and she has memories of it popping up on display in all of her Grandma’s various houses when she was young. Full of happy memories, it is definitely a piece of family history to treasure.
