All of my objects have a place and a space in my life. Some I just find comfort in possessing while others, I give them a home. Some have deeper mean and importance and are placed on a pedestal revered and protected. To find some sort of logic and order in my obsession, I categorize and display according to function, practicality, subject, size, and sacredness. It seems disorderly to the naked eye, but in truth they are with others of the same kind. Almost like some chaotic Dewey Decimal system that I alone hold the key code.
You see, all objects have friends. They might not look the same or be part of the same crowd, share the same shape, color, or form. But they are friends none the less. And as with all friends, they should be near each other.
Within this picture, I have my sacred "Day of the Dead" figure of my own persona that Rebekah brought back for me from Texas. She is dressed in pink (a wonderful color that I hardly ever wear in life) and once held a cigarette that has since broken off due to the multiple moves over the years. Surrounding her is a plethora of miniature and normal size tea cups. These are beautiful and I admire those able to drink comfortably out of one of these, but unfortunately I require a large enormous container for yummy beverages. On the second shelf is the famous "fertility doll", which was created and given to me by my wonderful Rebekah and if you are wondering, it actually worked, ask my 7 year old Gabriel. With the fertility doll sits "money kitties",lucky dice, books, and miscellaneous containers of collected goodies including dried lavender and "sea glass" from the old home place, Oak Island.
