Best Shot Monday - Treasure

We've spent the week with my mom...Mia calls her Ita. Yesterday, I put my hair up in curlers, and you know Mia wanted some, too. Ita brought out her jewelry box to organize....it turned into a show and tell of wonderful memories. My mom was delighted to clip a pair of pearl earrings on her 2 1/2 year old granddaughter.


My mom pulled out the bird pin that I'd made for her while in art school. From a thin sheet of silver, I pierced and sawed out the shapes of two birds in a tree. Here, some 18 years later, it was sitting in my daughters hand. Moments like that are mighty surreal.

Mia mostly had eyes on the treasure chest. A little gold filigree treasure chest pendant filled with pearls and crystals. When I was little, this was a piece I literally treasured. I always cherished it and it felt like time stood still when it was in my hands. My heart melted as I watched my precious daughter fall under it's spell.
