Aren't memories funny things? A lighter of all things, but, it is the memories it evokes that make it such a treasure. I have a little trinket box too, to keep all those special things in one spot, never to be lost in the midst of my other things around.
I must say that this entire piece has turned up the nostalgia for me and I remember everyone having a zippo. It really was a thang!
❤️ It's always been the small things for me. Love to you.
They ARE funny !
The smoking and the lighter are not in my first or main memories of my father when I normally reflect back, but when pulling that memory forward and having this little lighter in my hand, it still whisks me back all the same.
Of course we weren't allowed to play with his back then.....
My treasure box is just a very sturdy cardboard box with a lid, but today I thought about acquiring a box that looks more worthy for my treasures. I'm not dashing out to find one, but one day, I will run across the right thing, I just know it !

You will.I found one in South America! It was crafted from local wood and had stones inset on the top. The minute I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for that. You'll find one. Right there in front of you and you'll know it's the one.
