Join us for “Things That Matter” presented with Show and Tales, a FREE story-sharing event presented with Martie McNabb of Show and Tales.

Share a bit of your story with neighbors & strangers through this story-sharing gathering. Bring your photos & things that can tell a piece of your life story. In honor of Pride Week we welcome your Pride stories too!

What photos and/or objects would tell your life story? We KNOW that the best things in life aren’t things…. but things have a way of holding memories of the people, places & experiences that make up enrich our lives.

Look around your home, your office, your self…. Every thing has a story… what thing(s) tell yours?  

You’re always welcome to look & listen. That is just as valuable!

This event is part of an ongoing series presented by Martie McNabb of Show and Tales, who is deeply inspired by the book, What We Keep (as are we). Martie says:

“My friend Bill Shapiro & his partner Naomi Wax, traveled the country asking people a simple question “What Thing brings you joy, magic & meaning?” Their beautiful book What We Keep is a deeply moving representation of how objects hold our most significant stories. Don’t focus on your “valuable” things…. Bill & Naomi found that no-one chose the Thing that brought them joy, magic & meaning held any monetary value. “Our hearts are not accountants; we cling to the meaningful, not the monetary.’”

I’m a personal historian/visual artist who creates visual narratives from client’s photo, document & memorabilia archives. I’m also an interactive story-sharing heartist who helps people create connections by holding space for them to share the stories of the things they keep. What photo or object do you hold dear? And if you’re an artist, creative or service pro looking for a unique way to market yourself that not only feels good but does good?
