Thread Name: Family Keepsakes: What have YOU kept?
Subject: RE: Family Keepsakes: What have YOU kept?
Well, I didn't keep it all but......let's just say I am not among the un-stuffed. My dad has been gone 11 years, my mom only 3, so I still have a LOT of their stuff. I don't really want to get rid of any of it in case the kids want it someday. I'd be sure to get rid of the one thing they wanted.

I have a serving dish that was my Great Grandmothers, a crystal/etched "violet bowl" that was another ggmothers, a workable spinning wheel from another. As for the ggrandfathers, I have a pocket watch, a jack knife, photos, sheesh, lots of stuff.

From Mr. Sorcha's side we have a quilt made by his ggrandmother in 1889. It's the last photo on this page.
