~ Museum of Memories ~



An antique lamp, Grandma’s rocking chair, Grandpa’s pipe


Old record albums, old photographs, scrapbooks


matchbox cars, Barbie dolls, baseball cards


Report cards, yearbooks, diplomas


Love letters, saved dried flowers, wedding gown


Baby crib, stroller, car seat


Bibs, onesies, “Blankie”


First shoes, first suit, first bra


Forgotten toys, favorite bedtime story, that “special” bear


First catcher’s mitt, Star Wars figures, Pokemon cards


Soccer cleats, scout uniform, basketball trophy


Clay bunny, popsicle stick flowers, school valentines


U.S. President report, science project remnants, award winning poem


Prom memorabilia, graduation cap, diploma


Plastic Jack-O-Lantern, Christmas ornaments, Easter baskets


Mother’s Day cards, birthday cards, congrats cards


Beach umbrella, sand chairs, seashells


Air mattress, sleeping bags, suitcases


Old television, bookshelves, that bench to refinish


Newer ‘old’ furniture for new beginnings


Lots of old, nothing new, forgot it was borrowed, and yes the giant bunny is blue!



All stacked and packed in boxes,

Tucked away for storage,

Filled with smiles and tears, happiness and sadness.
