Memories....In a sewing box
Thank you to my lovely neighbour G.D, who gave me his late mother's beautiful sewing box. I aimed to begin a story and share with others about loss and the cherished memories they hold of their loved ones through treasured objects. When I received the sewing box, I felt it was my opportunity to craft new memories from this beautiful sewing box.
