Tuesday's Treasures. this has been such an enjoyable time. on Tuesday's when I have my latest treasure ,darling grandson with me I also get to ponder things and people that have been important in my life. today I want to show you 2 brooches that are treasures.The top brooch I wore for my wedding(something old) It is from my great grandma . It is made up of 4 1895 sixpences.put on a barrette. My granny ,as such lived behind us and I absolutely adored her and my grandfather. the bottom picture is the baby brooch of my hubby's grandma. She gave it to my daughter as she was the first girl in the family for a couple of generations. I understand this baby brooch to be at least 120 yrs old. Thank you Clare for starting this.

Treasure Tuesday That time again. My Dh and I sneak out to breakfast once a week and this is our wonderful place where we can go to and enjoy coffee and the view. .To some this maynot be thought of as much, but my man is a Pastor, and a small home business owner as well ,so his time is precious.!!! I really appreciate the time and isn't this a treasure of a view?????

Daddy's little helper.

My little grandson loves having his dad (my ds) home. Ds was home schooled and when he finished his schooling he applied to one of the "elite"unis here. he was refused entry as they said his curriculum was not of a high standard. The funny thing is : 2 degrees later from a diffrent uni and my son is lecturing at the "elite" uni. Yes I am a proud mum.

Treasure Tuesday- From my friend Clare. these are special spoons that I received for an engagement present..A very funny story-unfortunately the picture is the best I could do. my dh 's grandma gave us thes when we were engaged in 1976. She told us they were very special as they are actuallyy marked SIAM(the original name of Thailand). We happen to show my in-laws a bit later and they could not stop laughing. They had brought the spoons back as a present to Grandma when they were in the Air force earlier. It is a very fond and loving memory of Grandma.

Treasure Tuesday again over at Clares I have a "bush fire " box. In it are all my things I woud hate to lose. I am going through it now.My treasure this week is this lovely porcelain trinket box handpainted by my MIL shortly before she succumbed to breast cancer in 1984. She was a very talented lady.I just love it. It is very delicate and the floral arrangement she painted was of little white daisies. Thanks Clare for this show and tell.
