Tuesdays Treasures

Hello I'm finally here for the first Tuesday's Treasures !

My first treasure is my most important one as this little girl was my very first doll .

I was given this doll when I was three and have never been too far from her since .

As I came from a large family where money was scarce receiving a doll was a huge thing in those days .

Long story that I will try and cut short but when I was born my parents named me Sarah Jane .

My father came across a not very nice lady a few days later named Sarah Jane and rushed back to my mother in the hospital and said they couldn't name me that and changed it to Clare .

I was often called Sarah when I was little so I immediately named my doll Clare Sarah .

My creativity obviously wasn't quite developed yet at age 3 !

Can't wait to see your treasures !

Add your name to the link below and visit some of the other Treasure blogs !

Today is Monday but tomorrow is

What the heck is Treasure Tuesday I hear you say ,

(I can't really hear you that would be really creepy .)

Treasure Tuesday is a new game starting tomorrow which so happens to be Tuesday !

It is a way to showcase your sentimental treasures ,

priceless to you but of no value to anyone else .

No it is not your kids or your husband

but those little things that are so precious to you alone .

It could be your family bible or a favourite childhood book.

A special vase given to you by your Nan or

a wooden toy made by your dad .

Your first quilt or a cherised tea set .

Anything that is a treasure to you .

It will be played along the same way as My Creative Space .

The only difference there may be is that Kirsty is an excellent hostess

of My Creative Space and I can't promise I will be as efficient as her .

I mentioned this game last week and some were a little concerned about choosing one item

so I think we'll just keep playing week by week and see how it goes .

I will be adding a linky thing here tomorrow to kick off

Treasure Tuesday and I'd love someone else to join in

otherwise I'm going to look like a real dag playing by myself !

So if you want to play dust off your memories and come along tomorrow .

I'm looking forward to seeing your treasures .
