Memories...

When I was packing my things for our  recent trip, I pulled out something I use whenever we go away and thought I should take some pictures and share it with you.

This jewelry pouch is so perfect for traveling!

Here it is open, so you can see all the little partitions along the sides.  I can fit earring or even some necklaces in those spots.  It doesn't take up much space, but it keeps jewelry from getting tangled up.
I would use it just because of that, but it is special to me for another reason.  It was made by one of my former residents.  She passed away almost 3 years ago.  When I knew her she already had been dealing with Dementia for some time, but in her younger days she was very talented in making things like this or other crafts.  I also have a hanger she covered and a glass bead angel for my Christmas tree.  She was a character and is someone I would not forget, but every time I use one of these things, I especially remember her and it always makes me smile.
