I have a little box where I keep all of my cards, invites and other stationery and thought that it was about time that I had a good sort out and threw away some things form it as it will no longer shut because it is so full. The first thing, that I came across were a couple of spare baby shower invitations which were left over when I threw a small party after having my first child. I didn’t have the time or money to do one when I had my second and so my Mother kindly threw one for me! Then I came across birthday invitations for every party that I threw for my children.
I am afraid that these party invitations will be staying in my box as they are far too precious to get rid of. I did find a few oddly sized envelopes with no cards inside and some old blotting paper and yellowed writing paper so at least I got rid of a few things and the lid on my precious box nearly shuts now! I guess I should move these lovely things into a photograph album or something but it is lovely to have them hidden away in a box for me to discover in another few years and relive all those memories again.
