Synopsis

A diary. Military boots. Dancing slippers. An autograph book. A First Peanuts, Peanuts, and more Peanuts.

What do such a wide array of objects have in common? They are the stuff of which memories are made—and kept—and emotions revealed. And, along with some 100 other cherished keepsakes from childhood and beyond, they are the subjects of the brief essays and photos of Storied Stuff: Volume I.

The Storied Stuff project began in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic when Sharon and Steve Fiffer invited fellow writers and friends to play show and tell on a newly created website: storied-stuff.com. Since May of 2020, more than 200 people have contributed over 500 written pieces. Accompanied by photos, these appear weekly and have garnered hundreds of thousands of views.

A guitar, baseball cards, a Radio Flyer wagon, a handprint, an alarm clock, the American flag.

As co-editor Sharon Fiffer writes in the book’s Introduction: “Every bit of stuff we hang on to or are drawn to, tells a story. The universal, after all, is found in the specific.”
