Heirlooms

"Up in the attic, down on my knees,
Lifetimes of boxes, timeless to me,
Letters and photographs, yellowed with years,
Some bringing laughter, some bringing tears.

Time never changes, the memories, the faces
Of loved ones, who bring to me
All that I come from and all that I live for
And all that I'm going to be.
My precious family
is more than an heirloom to me."
Amy Grant

 Monochromatic
{This mirror, brush and accessories sat on my grandmother's dressing table}

 Hair
{There are few things that remind me of her as much as her brush and her mirror}

Starts with the letter "E"
For Ernest
{My dad's baby spoon, fork and napkin holder}

 Upside Down
{The silver pattern matched his parent's silver...I just love this little fork}

Soft
{This is my dad's silver rattle. He must have been a pretty strong tyke to have dented the soft silver}

I cherish these heirlooms and the wonderful memories they bring back to my heart.

  6. Wow Adrienne...what treasures you have here! "Ernest" is a family name in my family too...so this all kind of resonates with me. The detail on that vanity set is just exquisite. How lucky you are to have such keepsakes in your possession.

  10. What a beautiful remembrance of your family. I always enjoy when people can do the entire hunt based on a specific theme. I also like the way you processed these photos. I think my favorite was the Hairbrush for Hair followed by the Baby Rattle for Soft.
