JUST SITTING HERE GOING OVER YOUR PHRASES AND THINKING ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THIS SHARING AND THE AWESOMENESS OF OUR GOD. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL PAINTING CAPTURED BY ONE ARTIST...WOULD HAVE LASTED SO LONG? TRAVELING DOWN THE CORRIDORS OF TIME, THROUGH SO MANY YEARS...IT ENDED UP IN THE HANDS OF ANOTHER ARTIST WHO HAS BEEN SO INSPIRED BY IT...THAT ANOTHER WONDERFUL WORK HAS COME FORTH. THIS IS A KEEPSAKE, INDEED. FOR WHO KNOWS HOW MANY OTHERS WILL ALSO BE FILLED WITH MORE 'TENDER NUDGINGS' THAT SPEAK OF ITS AWESOME LOVELINESS? A GREAT SHARING...ENJOYED. THANK YOU. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

So lovely this keepsake and the poetry you have written
to cherish the memories.

Beautiful beautiful poem. My you know how to do this no?

What a marvelous treasure to have, and to always remember the one who cherished it so.

This beautiful tribute to a beloved keepsake and the owner of it has put tears in my eyes...yes,the picture above your poem is beautiful and no I have never seen one like it...I am very pleased that someone like you has it to care for as I know it will be safe in your hands...this poem and the photo of the girl on the tin I hope is one thing you will put into it as it too is a treasure.
Hugs from Kay

My imagination goes back to some of the things we discovered when my mother passed away such as the letters my dad wrote home from the front during the war. The first thing I thought of when I saw the picture and read the forward was a Valentine gift from a service man who may have been away at war...either way it definately makes the mind wander in a pleasant way.

Very, very lovely, Anna. What a treasure, and made all the more valuable by your imagination for if only you did know what this lovely tin held. Could have been letters from those she loved, notes from her children, could have been rolls of thread and needles for sewing. Ah,a beautiful mystery.
