This is really gorgeous. It took me mentally right back to my own childhood.

haha losing clothes around the house is actually pretty cool. I lost a really cute pair of patterned shorts. Months later I was doing the usual I-have-nothing-to-wear routine and found them at the bottom of the ironing basket. It was awesome! like getting new clothes for free! (which are really old clothes…you get it)
These pictures are so cute. Did she do the writing with a brush?! Woah talented!

This is adorable, I’d love to make my own but it would be full of things i’ve lost because i rarely manage to find anything especially when it’s lost in my own vortex.

This really does make me slightly nostalgic. Great childhood memories and fun things to look back at! On Write Create Tell I collect tips for teen writers and I have been wanting to write a piece about how to write from a child’s perspective. Do you thing I could use a link to show how other writers portray childhood memories? I think it would be a great addition to the post ;)

This was so wonderful and nostalgic in a melancholy way that I loved. I’m feeling inspired to do something like this now. Great job!

So cute. Once I tried to write down all the things I’ve lost, all the people. It would be an ever ending list. And I’m so afraid of missing things. And people.
