Meet David. He’s not quite two years old, but he knows it’s important to take good care of your Blankie.
When David has a question about preserving family keepsakes he turns to How to Archive Family Keepsakes for straightforward advice on storage methods and techniques.
Some folks want to throw Blankie under his stroller, other people want to stuff him in the diaper bag (phewwww!). David learned that Blankie, like all textiles, is happiest when he’s put away nice and clean and stored in a cool place away from heat, light, and moisture.
Blankie isn’t very big, so it will be easy to roll him in a clean white sheet and let him take a long nap on the closet shelf. One day. But right now, David has decided it’s just fine to keep Blankie nearby. After all, Blankie IS a Family Keepsake.

David, you are wise beyond your years to listen to The Family Curator. Snuggle with Blankie now, but when it's time to put him away (for just a while), do exactly what she says to do.
