ABC WEDNESDAY: M for Memories...

As I was cleaning the loft, I found a carton which stashed all my life as a child:


my beloved bags, the brown one was from Australia (it was a present from an aunt) and the white one was my mother's creation,


my photo albums (with a large collection of Brook Shields' and Kris Atkins' photos but also Charlies' Angels'),


diaries from primary school and high school,


all the pictures that I had drawn (so many of them...),


and the handkerchieves I used to take with me at school, the collars of my school costume and the plushed ribbons that I used to wear at my neck when I was singing with the chorus of my school.


So many happy memories just in a small box...
Years of innocence and purity!

Lovely memories! Is the bag from Australia made from kangaroo skin? It looks like it.

Hello marina!

if you know something, tell me.
when I came your blog, computer virus tried to install to my computer. it's the second time.
few weeks ago the same thing happens.
I know you're not wrong, but are you coming up something?

How wonderful that you have a box of Memories.
I wish now that I had kept some of my Memories in a box, but alas, they are only in my head and my heart.
