Week 36 of My Project 52 Photography Challenge: Golden

Week 36 of My Project 52 Photography Challenge: Golden

The theme for week 36 of my Project 52 Photography Challenge is Golden. This silver hand mirror, embellished with golden, floral accents was given to me by my grandma, several years before she passed away. 
For as long as I can remember, this mirror, along with a matching hairbrush, sat on the buro in my grandmother’s bedroom. As a little girl, I can remember admiring the mirror, while dressing up in my grandmother’s pearl necklaces, clip on earrings and pink lipstick. I don’t have much from my grandmother- a tiny green frog magnet, a small coffee table, a glass knick-knack, a small teacup and this mirror. But those things mean the world to me, as they all bring back the wonderful memories I have of visiting with my grandmother.

Now, this mirror, with its golden accents, sits on the buro in my bedroom. Maybe one day I’ll have a granddaughter putting on my necklaces and lip gloss and admiring herself in this same mirror. Who knows? What I do know is that every time I pass by it, I’m reminded of those fond memories and I’m so glad I have these little things to keep those childhood memories alive.

This Project 52 Photography Challenge has been great in so many ways. Not only have I been forced to be creative and step outside of my comfort zone photographically, but it has reminded me of so many little things in my life that have great meaning. That’s more golden than anything.
