I think my problem, and maybe it's the same for other people, is I associate things with people - the person who gave it, the person who once owned it or wore it, the person who made it. Also, I do what you do which is treat myself to something as a reminder of a holiday or a place visited. It all makes for a lot of precious things!love those cupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00251676130165434278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-5409005730661150022014-09-17T18:33:34.880+01:002014-09-17T18:33:34.880+01:00What a wonderful idea.

Joe adores them (although I don't let him play with them unattended as I'm convinced he'll swallow the tiniest one!)<br /><br />Don't be surprised if you're invited to guest post on this one at some point. All the lovely people in our blogging circle will be getting a knock on their virtual doors, I suspect :)<br /><br />S xSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038836502384520598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-42647199325376812082014-09-17T15:10:43.247+01:002014-09-17T15:10:43.247+01:00Thanks CJ - I'm looking forward to reading wha...Thanks CJ - I'm looking forward to reading what the others choose too.
