Filling the Cookie Tin

Not long after we met, William and I drove to Fredericksburg and stopped at an outdoor antique mall. I was curious as to what his aesthetics were. I had seen his house and what he collected and liked but with all the options and variety around us I wondered what would catch his eye, what sort of relic would appeal to him. I was surprised when it was this English made cookie tin. He liked the design and the idea of  having it filled with cookies. So he bought it and I fill it with cookies. It has become one of those possessions loaded with memories and meaning and one that I am very fond of. I baked some cookies tonight.
