my week in objects (mostly).
a necklace, a basket, a mirror.
1. this necklace.
{and being able to hand it off to someone small who really needed it.}
2. this mirror.
{scratched as all get out but now i can see my reflection in a room with a window.}
3. these socks.
{and the organizing kudos received from a four-year-old.}
4. this bag.
{of things ready to be passed along.}
5. this copy of making things.
{and all the others from the second printing. i can’t begin to say how relieved i am to see it.}
other things:
handwritten signs by the register.
the time i have with them isn’t something i am owed, but it’s something i earn.
what if we could share a bit more and take a bit less?
even breakfast can be a gesture of belief in the world as it could and should be. (gift.)
Erin, I have loved these links for years and years. The Crest Hardware one got to me ... getting married in the garden center of an Ace has never occurred to me, and that way of thinking can be extrapolated to so many things. What a fantastic essay.
Congratulations on the second printing!! And, if you can share I’d love to know: where do you get those non-boring yet not-too-loud, adorable children’s socks?
