Treasures

As some of you already know, my parents have sold their condo and become "Snowbirds". They just bought a 5th wheel and they have a spot in BHC not far from us. As you can imagine going from a 2 bedroom condo to a 34' 5th wheel there isnt much room for all the "treasures" accumulated throughout the years. (lucky for me!) Mom says it is great to come to our house and visit their things. I am glad to be able to hear the story around so many different things and also happy to give Mom and Dad a place to come visit their things.

Apparently, the mirror that has been in there spare bedroom was the mirror that was over the fireplace in my Grandparents house in Delta. (yep I got that too.) I had no idea where they had got that mirror from and probably would have just thrown it away. I guess you could say I am a little sentimental, I still have the burnt orange chair that use to be pink when I would sit with my grandma while she tickled my back, she also crocheted each of her children and grandchildren an afghan in that chair. One day I will recover it, but I doubt I will ever give it up. So here are a few of the treasures. I will post the others as I get them put up.



I have wanted one of these jewelry boxes for a while now, and was so excited when mom said she didnt have room for it and ask if I wanted it. So imagine how excited I was when I opened it and seen all the bracelets my dad had given her over the years. I thought I was just getting the jewelry box not the jewelry. There was also some pieces I didnt recongnize, the Marcasite necklace was my Great Great Aunt Lotties and the 2 bracelets on the left were also Lotties. The one on the far left she bought in Paris, it has the Eifel Tower on each link and also on the clasp. Mom isnt sure about the one on the right, but it is really pretty.



I remember my mom using this mirrow when I was little. This was also Great Great Aunt Lotties. (something I didnt know). We arent sure if it is silver or not, it kinda looks tarnished. There is a heart in the middel and little cherub angels playing the violin.
