Such beautiful stories here attached to sentimental items.

Galen you know I love that painting, it's stunning and that aquamarine colour is just superb. Your dad captured life so well.

I keep, hoard, protect and cherish so many little treasures that have practically no monetary value but are irreplaceable to me. All of these have some form of provenance that I personally maintain and I have written about a few of them previously.

Today a new one made it's way into my care which I am absolutely over the moon about.

It is a vintage kitchenalia ice cream scoop. This ice cream scoop belonged to my sister. I found it at her house we were staying in while in Knysna recently along with 5 other varieties of vintage ice cream scoops. Of course this is a running family joke now but this particular one is just so funky, retro cool and now has memories - my sister gifted it to me today and I practically jumped up and down like a kid on Christmas eve. I know, I know I'm weird. Welcome home little ice cream scoop 🍧🍨🍦
