I have kept a glass onion from my childhood, it was my from my Dad's childhood, I dare not hang it some years, the years of young children and puppies and kittens. I place it high. My Dad grew up dirt poor in NYC, born in 1910, his mother came to this country and she worked hard, his story is that it was one of the first ornaments that she bought, when she could afford it. It's very precious to me, its faded, I guess it used to be yellow, now its a dingy brown. I try not to get sentimental about material things, but it is a link to all of those who have passed on.
That sounds lovely. I love old family memories. I’ve tried to not keep so much material things as I get older. I live in a very small house and don’t have as much room as I once did. I have kept several dishes and tea cups from my grandma and great grandma. My daughter thinks the Lord’s Prayer plate (with picture of the last supper) is tacky. It probably is but it was on my great grandmother’s wall forever and I live in the same house now. It will always be hung as long as I’m living. I still keep a cigar box that was my grandfather’s. They kept photos in those boxes. Also they don’t make things now the way they did fifty, etc years ago.
That's sweet you still have the plate🐸 I still have several of my grandfather's old cigar boxes as well!
Oh that is lovely, thank you for sharing🐸
