After a year in which it was difficult to celebrate--or even mark--milestones, Storied Stuff is making up for lost(ish) time.

This week is the one-year anniversary of our first post.

In Spring 2020, it was our intention to provide a place where people could connect, entertain, amuse, witness, commiserate, recognize, share and remember.

In this year of upside down, we've posted over 260 stories from over 100 contributors. And as long as we're speaking numerically, we're also delighted to announce we've had over 86,000 page views.

Here at SS headquarters, we like to celebrate with a meal, and certainly a special dessert.  This week, we're featuring some special saved recipes--and the even-more-special stories that go with them.

We also gave ourselves an anniversary gift, thanks to Chris and Kate, our tech specialists.  You can now find any piece you're looking for listed by the author's last name. Tell your friends how to find your story when they visit storied-stuff.com.

I bet you thought a one-year anniversary was Paper--but now you know-- it's "Index."
