I am enjoying this thread so much - I have pieces of jewellery from both my grandmothers, and some of my childhood dolls, one of which was my mother's. But I only have sons!!! no daughters to pass them on to. (might have a granddaughter one day) I have a 3/4 size violin that my father used to play (but I can't). And I have a wonderful big photo of my grandparents with their first child, my mother at about 5-6 months, which hangs in my house above the Singer treadle sewing machine that my Nanna bought new to make my mother's baby clothes. My mother could not sew to save her life but I do - make my own clothes and quilts and things like that. Incidentally my mother had a really great maiden name - Mavis Davis.
Cheers
