I found 6 handmade quilts in my grandmother's chest after she died that I doled out to each of our children as they married; I kept 3 for myself and I surely treasure the work that went into them. In one I find pieces of feed sacks that Grandma made into clothes for me. One really old quilt sports squares of Confederate gray uniforms!<br />Lovely post and best wishes.Susan Coryellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700818086229953333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-47507694321507007732018-08-01T07:45:48.172-05:002018-08-01T07:45:48.172-05:00Oh my gosh, what a beautiful post.

They were what the cable wrapped around from pole to pole and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Being a fan of colored glass, my mom fell in love with one at an old antique store one day. She bought it for next to nothing. Turns out there is a National Insulator Association - a big deal for collectors - of which she was president one year. We were each 9six kids) given a precious cobalt blue glass insulator mounted on a wooden pin and set on a wooden oval base. She had "A treasured shared" engraved on a small brass plate on the base. I think of her each time I see it.Mary A Felkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08638581580394236129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-70766699867404196652018-07-31T15:36:15.121-05:002018-07-31T15:36:15.121-05:00I have a Pendleton wool shirt that I bought for my...I have a Pendleton wool shirt that I bought for my dad decades ago.

When my sister passed away, we discovered several items among her belongings that we knew came from my grandparents. Sandy had written Grandma's name, my mom's name and hers on the bottom so future generations would know where it came from and who treasured it.

Last year I went to the Boston Tea Party museum, in Boston of course, and they still have ONE OF TEH CHESTS that held the tea they dumped in the harbor.
