They aren't worth much money wise, but the memories and stories they hold mean the world to me. To me, the stories that are passed down are as special as the material things. I try and make sure my kids know these stories and I write them down for safe keeping - because I know some day I will forget if I don't.Janet,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17796999156668844943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-3939749994298407142020-05-19T10:02:41.541-04:002020-05-19T10:02:41.541-04:00Susan, I enjoyed reading this post and thanks for ...Susan, I enjoyed reading this post and thanks for sharing. I am fortunate to have several heirloom treasures from my family and I am now passing some of them on to my daughters and granddaughter. While doing genealogy I have found tons of photographs of my family lines, cherished pics from the past.

I didn't live in the same town with Nana and never said I'd like to have it someday so she figured no one in the family wanted it. So, if you are admiring an item your elderly family member owns, let the know. It was special to me because I have memories of her teaching me how to sew doll dresses on that machine. I do have other items that came from my dad's side of the family but I don't have a backstory to go with them. Not like that sewing machine. Pamela S.

Several of my heirlooms have little monetary value, but mean so much: an Anchor Hocking emerald green pitcher, my great uncle's Bible, and my grandmother's costume jewelry earrings that she wore every Memorial Day and Fourth of July. BTW, I just finished Devyn's Dilemma and enjoyed it quite a bit.Linda Matchetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921797723329487407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-28699338987551554852020-05-19T06:24:18.219-04:002020-05-19T06:24:18.219-04:00We do have some very special treasures from our pa...We do have some very special treasures from our parents and grandparents. We're at the age where we're looking at our own favorite possessions and wondering how to bless our family with those items when we are gone.
