It’s Friday and time for Show & Tell. It is hosted by Kelli at There’s No Place Like Home. You can visit other participants by clicking on the Show & Tell graphic.
This is the engagement picture of my husband and I taken in fall/winter of 1997.
I purchased a 10 x 13 frame for an 8 x 10 photo and put mementos of our engagement around the photo.
At the bottom left is a picture of my first bouquet and the actual card that came with the flowers. Going clockwise is a rose petal, the title of a Chamber Choir we went to see, a bowling pass, part of the program from a dinner theatre, the Blockbuster logo [we watched videos a lot], ticket stubs from a play, more rose petals, a cut out from our first church sweetheart banquet, a picture of the Easter basket he gave me, another rose petal, the ticket stub from a local high school play, one more ticket stub, and across the bottom is the top of the fudge box that my engagement ring was hidden in.
Can you tell what we liked? No sports tickets…it was over winter anyway.
This hangs in my bedroom and reminds me of the first good times we had together. I could tell you lots more stories based on the things in the frame, but I’ll leave you hanging for now.
P.S. My hair is nothing like that right now; and he has a flat top. 
How awesome. What a keepsake.

Kelli
I love this…so very sweet!
I have a similar framed piece with our wedding invitation…but I love all of the mementos you have in yours!
What a sweet keepsake!
What a good way to preserve some memories! You are a beautiful couple!
Great idea! My first thought was “sweet”, not in the awesome/skateboarder dude type of way but in the awww… cute sort of way.
i love this! What a wonderful keepsake!
How sweet!
What a great idea! I have things in a box, but this would be much more fun. Thanks for posting!!
I am a memory freak, so I absolutly LOVE stuff like this. For my dhs wedding present to me, I did something similar from our first “date” on in a book form with different sentemental pieces i had collected throughout. I left the first page blank and wrote on it the day of our wedding while i was getting ready waiting to become his bride. Then it was hand delivered by a bridesmaid!
how lovely thanks for sharing!
