long ago, before i had children
i gave this candle holder to my mum at christmas time
i found it in a pottery shop
which was in the back garage of an old home
i had passed while walking
now it sits on my small altar
in honor of the potter who made it
in honor of my mum
and in honor of who we once were
Seems to me a wonderful way to remember those we love/loved.

ReplyDeleteLove it
We are spirit sisters
Lovely. I love pottery, such a labor of love to make things with our hands.
ReplyDeleteA lovely candle holder with memories to match. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sentiment. I was given my grandma's old Singer sewing machine at Christmas. Like your candle holder it's very simple (not electric or anything fancy like that), and very useful. She taught me to sew on it a lifetime ago, and now I feel a real connection with her and my childhood when I use it. It's strange and rather wonderful how these things can draw us closer to those who have gone. All the best, Bonny
