I have been blessed to have been passed down treasures from my grandparents of furniture and accessories of many different varieties but from house that were much grander than mine. I also didn't get the spelling gene too! I try to use my things in everyday living and tell the children about their history if I am aware of it.I even have dishes, linens, sheets, mirrors, etc. that will be theirs in the not so distant future. Our oldest graduates university this week....boo hoo I am sad too see them grow up so fast and I mean it is not so much a cliche any more. We are also Very happy too!

We have the dollar bill (framed) given to her by her parents in 1905; notably, this was the only gift ever given to her by her father, who passed away at a very young age from TB. There are too many precious items to list, but I have a ring of hers that I make sure to wear on days when I can sense I need her close by me so I can draw strength from her. I have made scrapbooks for my brother, sister and me detailing all the memories she happily shared with me; hopefully, these scrapbooks will be as dear to my children and nieces and nephews as they are to me.Erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-85288809869847998212010-05-19T20:55:08.877-04:002010-05-19T20:55:08.877-04:00What a special heirloom!
