Pick your Precious
Thank you Sian for this sparkling new Story Telling Sunday project.
Sian, over at High in the Sky has once again come up with a brilliant new idea for Storing Telling Sunday, now in its third year.
Take a picture of something that is precious to you. It can be anything at all, precious for any reason or no reason and write a back story to go with it. Genius! as my darling boy often says whilst pressing his forehead with his index finger!
As I intend to make a book from these ‘precious photos and back stories’ I am starting my series with something that amuses me greatly.
And, as I haven’t done a layout of any description for ages here is the first from 2013. I keep writing/typing 2003, anyone else doing the same?
You should be able to click on the picture to make my journalling large enough to read.
I am sure, because Sian is hosting, there will be some wonderful back stories to some equally wonderful photo’s of Precious right here.
Miriam, this is perfect! It’s just right – something that might have no meaning for anyone else, or, indeed, any special value at all, but it shines out to you every time you see it. Love it. And what a lovely page too – here’s hoping we see many more precious pages from you this year in Storytelling Sunday
This is a lovely story, I imagine everyone had their own idea of why it was so precious to you 🙂
Oh I like your precious blue just – what a gorgeous colour blue. Reminds me of Denby – is it? There are things that just become special aren’t there? Hope Ben does read the stories 🙂
I am glad that your jug is both precious and used. What a fabulous story and a great page
A very poignant tale of the precious blue jug and what it represents to you so beautifully told and photographed. The stirring of your memories when you look at it are precious indeed.
I love your reasons why your jug is so important to you!

Oh, I get it. The jug is a symbol of happiness. And it gets used most every day. Sounds reasonable to me why it is precious.
perfect choice and I LOVE your layout!
I love it! Great memories! I am not a hat wearer myself, try as I may. But I could totally love a blue jug!
It’s a beautiful piece, and I love how one object brings back so many memories. I, too, love the layout!
Lovely writing! I’m going to make an album for my precious things as well.

What a lovely story to start your precious album x
Thanks for sharing.
Sometimes it is the strangest reasons that make something special and it really doesn’t matter what they are 🙂 But it is good that you got the story down on paper for posterity LOL
First off I have to say that your layout is perfect—so clean and simple. That made me want to see what the story was all about. You’ve given me some fodder to think about as I select my next precious thing.
I can definitely understand why, this is your “precious blug jug!”
What a wonderful post, Miriam.
Thank you for sharing it here.
xo.
