Curious Stuff: - personal stories of mementos, treasures, white elephants, and junk

"Curious Stuff" is the sixth themed collection from the Personal Story Publishing Project. It is 45 stories, 750-800 words each, from 45 writers sharing personal experiences from their lives on the theme of "Curious Stuff--mementos, treasures, white elephants, and junk."

Forty-five writers share personal stories of Curious Stuff-mementos, treasures, white elephants, and junk. Our modern lives are full of stuff we want and stuff we would be happy to see disappear, stuff that makes us laugh, makes us proud, makes us teary, and sometimes gives us pause. What makes it all special are the stories we tell-the how, the who, the when, the where, and why we hope to pass some things along or not. Stories bring life to the stuff around us and help us best put it all away for safekeeping in our loved one's hearts and minds.

Through 45 short stories, you share in the life experiences of writers-both fresh, new voices and seasoned storytellers. They skillfully share tales from their lives, causing us all to consider our own experiences, our own stories of dealing with-wrestling with-the curious stuff we might have all around us, wanted or not. What to keep and what to toss? What to pass along and to whom and why? And what is all this stuff really worth anyway without the stories we tell about it?
