My Grandma moved into a new apartment this month and so she is going through all of her things. She told me I could have anything I wanted. Honestly, I couldn’t think of many things I would want but I figured I take home a few memento sort of things. She had some neat stuff! LOTS of REALLY NEAT stuff…
Going through all her things with my sisters was such a wonderful walk down memory lane. Some things we really needed. (No really, we did) LOL Some things were practical. But so many things had such fond memories of our grandparents, I just couldn’t let them go!!!
he’s gonna look perfect hanging on the house
I simply adore this old bucket!!!
this great vintage box had a special bonus inside…
cake toppers from my mom’s cakes when she was little
Grandma always served rolls in this (it didn’t even have to be a special occasion)
we ate fruit out of these little bowls every morning for breakfast when we spent the night
Grandma carried this little mirror in her purse for as long as I can remember (now I’m gonna carry it in my purse)
Grandma taught both me and my boys how to play poker using this
I used this towel every summer! After splashing in the pool when I was 7 and for sunbathing in their yard when I was 17!
I brought home one of Grandpa’s steins for each of my guys
I didn’t even know she had all these state souvenir plates! I took 4 of my favorites!
It was kinda like a garage sale, only everything is special!!!

That's so special! You are lucky to still have a Grandma- (secrets)I learned to play poker from my step grandfather, her 2nd husband (also passed). Such special memories.
Very cool, Carrie! She actually decided to MOVE????? Good for her!
I'm so glad you took that poker board. I thought about it, but then I though, no this would look so awesome hanging in Carrie's basement. I guess you though so too...
Now I've got to get my day started.
