Happy Valentine's Day! Some of our stuff is inextricably tied to a relationship with another person. These wine glasses, from a quaint craft shop, were the most brilliant Anniversary gifts I ever gave to my wife. We both love them. They're beautiful and remind us of...well...us! For our valentine's dinner we put out our china (we hardly ever use it) and lit candles (must be a special night) and put on a Diane Schuur CD (one of our first dates). The juxtaposition of all these objects mean something. Objects themselves may be fairly innocuous, but when paired with the right occasion and the right location, they become powerful bearers of mood and meaning. Why else are many of our homes littered with stuff that seems so strange to outsiders...things which we could hardly live without.
What meaning-filled objects did you pull out for Valentines? What evokes powerful winds of emotion for you?
