Little Treasures

I was at my Mom's today helping her go through some things of my Father's.  I came home with a small box of things.  Here is a list of items.

1.   A handful of old black and white photos of my family.

2.   A couple of lesson books my Dad had as a kid.

3.   Two cigar boxes, one filled with old dominoes, dice and charms.

4.   My Grand Dad's old pipe

5.   A cow bell from my Great Grandparents farm in Illinois

6.   Poems my Great grandfather wrote and printed (He was  poet and owned a printing press.)

I have such wonderful ideas for these treasures.

Hi Bristol ~~ So nice to meet you and thank you so much for leaving a sweet message for me wishing my dad well. I am so sorry to hear of the lose of your father. I am so fearful of this happening. How wonderful that you have some of his treasures and to know that those were the things in his life that he hung on to. Blessings, Becky

Love your site...was reading how much you love KY... I used to live there... but have since moved back to VA which is similar in a lot of ways including the countryside ... the memories I do have from there are the best..the people are so friendly and its such a gorgeous state to live in...

By the way I tried every which way but loose to find the EuroTrash site but was unable to bring up any kind of link...keeps saying it doesnt exist...

Have a great day... hope to see you again

Bristol...love your cute kitchen! The dominoes of your Dad's..they are very collectable~ gather them up and show them off in an glass apothecary jar. You don't have to have a "big" jar..and no need to "fill" it to the top....just a pretty jar. Would look great somewhere in that b/w kitchen...
