nostalgia


my grandmother's knitting needles
tarnished and rusted
brittle and broken

from these needles
came stylish cardigans
for three admiring little girls
who
are now grown
with little girls
of their own

  11. I love your photo. I've just gotten so interested in vintage tools and cameras. I wish I had some that belonged to my family. Your writing is as wonderful as the photo!
