Keepsakes are an important part of life. Tonight we visited with a relative who is not able to keep her keepsakes. Needless to say, we came home with some keepsakes that we will keep in the family. Lovely shot here with simplicity.
Such beautiful simplicity… we used to have a shop in town which sold all things Swedish, and was called called The Straw Goat. Sadly, the owners retired, but I have some treasures that I bring out only at Christmastime. I love them.

This is beautifully composed. It looks hopeful–light in the winter of a northern place.
