Small things mean a lot sometimes.
I am a keeper of things that family, friends and even strangers have given me over the years. I came from a large family of origin and we were all close. We lived poorly, but we had the basics and when we gave each other gifts, it was always something small.
When I was in the 4th grade I won the prize for reading the most books. The grand prize was one shiny silver dollar. That is when I started saving small treasures and so now I have 66 years of experience at collecting small things. I was pregnant with my first child 45 years ago. One of my favorite customers was a middle aged man that was a wood carver. He made me cutting board with a carving of a young mother on it. I still have that cutting board.
I became a genealogist about 40 years ago and now I am keeper of all small facts and family stories, all genetic diseases, life stories and little known facts. I had to build a website to keep all the facts there and to share them with the rest of the family.
I save all things sentimental. I was recently showing some of my boxes, because of ill health, I thought it prudent to let someone know about my little secret of sentimental journeys. Of course, I was keeping all these things for my children and grand-children, all these small treasures.
My daughter was fascinated by all the years I had been keeping these boxes with antiques, handmade bedspreads crocheted by her grandmothers and well, all these beautiful treasures, like bibles, a knife my father carried in his pocket and used every day to peel his apples.
She then commented on some of my boxes and said that I should use something prettier. I had been using just regular put-together storage file boxes. She convinced me, so I came to amazon, looking for something prettier, but still affordable. I found these black and white paisley looking 10 x 12.2 x 9.2 inch Snap together magazine boxes made by Snap-N-Store and they are very economical and fashionable looking storage boxes. They are so tasteful and attractive that I can keep them, right out in the open. So easy to put together and handle. They are so well made that I feel they will stand up to the test of time.
I will keep a lookout for these boxes to go on sale and then I will move in for the kill! And I will save a ton of money, because I will need lots of these beautiful and sturdy boxes. They are a little pricy for my budget, but well worth the money. I found the same snap together boxes 17 x 14 x 2 inches, that a little larger for the same price of $9.99.
Don't anyone tell amazon, they will never go on sale.
