If ghosts were to choose a place to linger,
surely it would be an attic.
Quiet, dust-kissed, and full of memories.
A place where time drifts slowly, the air thick with stories.
Where old trunks are brimming with lace and letters, hats once worn to dances, mirrors that have watched generations grow and fade.
Here, these ghosts could pass the hours
playing dress-up in forgotten finery,
revisit faded photographs
like old friends returning for a spell.
They’d set the table with the good china,
the kind we always saved
for a day that never quite came.
It’s a world made of longing and make-believe…
of the things we meant to do,
the moments we hoped to stretch a little longer,
the beauty we often overlook
until it’s part of the past.
Maybe these heirlooms can be a sweet reminder not to wait to do the things we long to. Use the good china for mac & cheese, wear the dress on a regular old Tuesday. Print the photos, write the letter... Bring the long lost dreams to life while you still can. ✨
The back of each ornament reads:
"Finding Wonder in the Overlooked 2025"
