My grandparents are finally discussing moving into a Senior Apartment - so the "we have to get rid of stuff!" movement has begun!
I have been telling my grandmother for years thatthe only "thing" that I want is the quilt that er mother (my paternal great grandmother on my fathers mothers side) made. (I thought I was goingt o have to wait for the reading of the will & I know how she has been "storing" it...)
I got it yesterday! No photos yet, it is in a box along with some crocheted items that my paternal great grandmother on my fathers fathers side made.
The short version - I got some handmade items that two of my great grandmothers made.
I also got some woodworking items that my grand father made & a framed embroidery piece that my mother made in the early 1970's.
I hope to get some antique kitchen items when my grandmother actually moves - like an old glass rolling pin.

Last fall, my grandma, at the tender age of 92 moved from the farm to a senior apartment. I went with my dad to the auction. I came home with a lot more than I had planned. One cool thing was her mother's treadle machine and her father's violin.
Very cool! I am sure you can find a place of honor for these family heirloom pieces.
Each thing will be such a treasure for you to have.
That's exciting - can't wait to see the picture.
How very lucky you are to have these. Can hardly wait to see pictures!

My parents moved out of their home of 49 years this past June. I came home with treasures too. I can't wait to see pictures your new treasures.
how wonderful that family heirlooms exist and you moving into a new place soon.

I can't wait to see your treasures. I really love old quilts (as if you couldn't tell from my last few posts).
