"Beautiful stories that celebrate the power an object can hold are at the heart of The Heirloomist by photographer Shana Novak, creator of the project of the same name dedicated to documenting keepsakes and transforming them into uniquely meaningful works of art. 100 objects from strangers and cultural icons alike range from the everyday to the extraordinary: the fork that began Nora McInerny's relationship with her late husband; the sculpture that inspired Christy Turlington to fight for maternal healthcare; the charm bracelet that Nate Berkus gifted his daughter in stylish family tradition; the baby shoes that represent Rosanne Cash's love for her children; and Andrew Zimmern's inherited steel carving set, the beginning of a storied career in food. We all have meaningful items, big or small, expensive or humble, with powerful messages behind them. Celebratory, sentimental, and bursting with heart, The Heirloomist offers a glimpse into the treasures we hold dear and how they inform the stories of our lives"--
