In a blue box trimmed with paper lace,
a white ribbon, and a black rose, still and silent.
The white ribbon put her arm around the black rose;
without a word, the act of tenderness was understood.

What a beautiful photo, the way you lay everything out in preparation for a story. I bought some ribbon embroidery books recently and the idea of ribbons putting their arm round each other is a great gesture of friendship.

Hi Corey.
So simple and magnifcent.
Pretty little treasures. Beautiful sentiment too. Hopefully my ribbons and baubles enjoy eachotheres company too. -
I never would have seen it. But now I can even see the hesitancy in the black rose trusting the embrace…friendship takes time but that first outstretched act of kindness lays a beautiful foundation. thank you again Corey, Nel.

Personification makes this picture more a story than a photo, both of which speak volumes…

As soon as I saw this picture, I thought about English girls before their wedding… they had to have:
“something old,
something new,
something borrowed,
something blue”
not sure about the order, though…
Corey, are your little “bundles of memories” sold in old boxes? and do you keep them in their boxes? or how do you “store” them?
