    Treasures from the Past

    When you go out junkin' do you

    collect things to sell ~ to recreate

    something from the past that

    becomes a new treasure for someone else ~

    I love to get things for my home

    but I can only have so much before

    it becomes hoarder status ~

    So.....I am mostly on the hunt for

    things to put on my website ~

    While I was in Kansas I got

    two Bibles that I thought would be

    awesome to take the pages from

    and use in pocket pillows or for

    who knows what else but they are aged

    so perfectly!

    As I took them out and really looked at

    them (which I don't really do

    when I am on the search) .....

    I started to think about where they have

    been ... what stories they had to tell...

    Was this little Bible carried

    to a church like this ~

    or this ~

    Was this larger Bible in a families house

    out on a prairie somewhere ~ Did they

    find comfort in its pages during

    hard times ...

    Where have they been through the years

    to end up in a flea market in 2011 ~

    Precious treasures from the past

    are the things that we collect ...

    whether to recreate with or to

    cherish as they are ~
