The Hope Chest

luvndogz

A cedar box of dreams
A promise of love and security
Treasured pieces of life

Framed, pressed flowers
High school yearbooks
Hand embroidered linens

Old family photographs
Mom’s wedding dress
A wedding ring quilt

Gathered together for another
To make her home homier
For her to pass on
