TREASURED OBJECTS





It really doesn't matter if your home is big or small. There's little importance if you own, rent, or live with a family member or friend. What is significant is that your home is about you and whoever else lives there. If "everyone" has a say and contributes then the home is about "family".

If we lend ourselves to sharing our lives with heritage and the treasures they provide, we instantly feel continuity with their presence or their possession. We also show pride in our heritage and backgrounds.

Books, paintings, needlework, pottery, or whatever is important to you . . . display it proudly and let others admire and enjoy it. By keeping special items hidden will only keep their beauty and special thoughts concealed. Even a child can appreciate texture, color, and take delight in "pretty" things or pride in treasured objects.
