Friday's Show and Tell


It's time for Show and Tell Friday over at Kelli's - There is no place like home Take a look at the items this week. After seeing what Kelli picked up in someone else's trash I will have to start taking a closer look at that kind of thing when I'm out.

My grandmother turns 90 today and the photo is of her when she was little. The pillow is one of the things that she has made me - this from years ago.

We are incredibly lucky to have her still with us. My boys are 17 and 19 and not many of their friends have grandparents, let alone a great grandparent. Watching them interact with her and other family members is a joy for me. At those times I'm content to be a spectator.

A very special treasure and keepsake the quilt pillow is! I have things from my grandmother and they are dear to me. Among other things, she passed on to me a love and appreciation of all things handmade.
It's truly a rare and special memory your family can have with your grandmother!
Blessings to You!-Claudia O.

Very fortunate indeed! I never knew any of my grandparents, as my mother's parents lived interstate and back in the 1950's we had no money to travel to visit them. My father's Dad died when Dad was ten, and his Mum died not long after I was born. So make the most of your elderly relative!
