The Legend of Sweetie Bop

Hi There!

This isn't a story you probably won't find in a book or on TV.  It's just a small tale about someone who loved to find special treasures to brighten our home. I was often amazed by just how willingly someone could elect to use their free time pouring over websites or magazines to find that perfect little trinket for the home.  I was far less amazed by how willingly one person could drag their partner to malls, showrooms, or any ole trinket shop that might hold such wondrous treasures, but that's a different story.  Not all of these hidden gems made it to our home (we only have so much space, and I didn't want to feature on one of those hoarder shows), but everything that did was chosen with a careful and loving eye.  I don't know if she would ever say it, but I'm pretty sure the hunt was sometimes sweeter than the catch.

I don’t remember when or why I started calling her Sweetie Bop.  It’s just one of those things that somehow slowly came about over the time we had.  She never said anything outright, but I’m pretty certain it was the favored nickname I had for her.  So for me it seemed like a good place to get this ball rolling.

She's been gone awhile now, and I'm grateful for all those little treasures I never thought twice about- for everything that caused me some level of annoyance or seemed frivolously pointless.  Those things make me smile a bit and remember better days.  So it's my hope that I can provide others with those kind of products that make your memories of home just a little extra special when you're there and fondly nostalgic when you move on.  And maybe, just maybe, provide your resident treasure seeker with things that will make them laugh in triumph for another successful hunt.
