Things Remembered - Pink Saturday

The tea pot on the right was given to me by my grandmother. She gave it to me one day when I went out for a visit.  She was always so generous that way. She had just bought the tea pot - probably at the dime store. But when I arrived I was really admiring it, so she just simply gave it to me. There is always something special about something given to you by someone that you love.  It didn't matter to me where it came from, just that she gave it to me.  It now has a place of honor on my book shelf in our family room and every time I look at it, I think of her and the day she gave it to me.

 

When she was much older and had gone to live in the nursing home, her house burned completely to the ground.  So many things were lost, including all of her pictures, furniture and everything.  So things like a dime store teapot take on a much bigger meaning.  Do you have something in your life that brings back good memories?  Tell someone about it.

 

Thanks to Beverly over at How Sweet the Sound for hosting this wonderful Pink Saturday project. Stop on by there and check out some of the other great blogs that are participating.

One of the things Beverly has challenged us to do is to visit a blog that we have not been to before and highlight it on our Pink Saturday post.  So today I'd like to highlight Collected Treasures . Her blog is really well done, with lots of beautiful photos. She is hosting a wonderful contest on repurposing with some great prizes.  You can read all the details here: REPURPOSING CHALLENGE
