I've been building "alters" my entire life. To the outside world they probably look like a collection of too many photos & too many knick knacks. To me each item represents something special. It's my way of remembering those who held a special place in my life. We have an overabundance of incense and candles. My daily rituals begin by feeding squirrels, chipmunks, & other critters on the front porch of our wildlife habitat certified bit of heaven on earth. My "alters" change with the seasons. Maybe yours will too. Enjoy! Love & hugs, g

Love it and love the googly eyes!! I started altar building in the pandemic when we couldn’t go to church and I haven’t stopped (incidentally we also didn’t go back to church lol). I love your treasures and family art - I usually slowly collect nature treasures through the season and add them, and I love fresh flowers too. And making husbands uncomfortable is a fun byproduct too 😂😂
