Well honestly jewelry was the first thing I thought of but I'm not a big jewelry person and most of what I have is junk. I dug into what I had though and found these three things.
The ring I bought for myself when I was in high school.
The heart pin I think was my great grandmothers. It's missing a stone but has the letter A and my great grandmothers name was Anna
The brooch I'm not really sure who it belonged to but I'm pretty sure my mother gave it to me a long time ago.
Then I found this.
This belonged to my dad. It still has the picture of his parents on one side. Whatever he had on the other side is missing. I'm assuming it might have been a picture of an old girlfriend.
The back is engraved with his name and maybe his serial number from when he was enlisted.
This is so special. Is your daughter getting married??
ReplyDeleteI think that broach would be my choice.
ReplyDeletemy mind is blown seeing your dads bracelet. and maybe she could wear the brooch in her hair. at least the request got you digging and you fould all these old treasures.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was is this her way of telling you she is getting married...love the broach, but I love that bracelet, too.
ReplyDeleteThe heart pin sounds appropriate for a wedding, you can have Amanda's birthstone put in to replace the missing stone...Your Dad's bracelet is a treasure.
ReplyDeleteYour dad's bracelet is such a keepsake!! Thank you for sharing these beautiful pieces with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful momento from your dad, Ann! And what a phone call to get, eh?! A wedding in the wind? How exciting!! (If you previously announced a wedding coming up, I'm sincerely sorry for not remembering. This senior citizen mind of mine is worth nothing as far as memory goes!!) ~Andrea xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteLooks like Amanda is getting married? Goody.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful treasure you found. Made me smile.
Hope you're having a fabulous day off, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
These are all so very special, she will have a hard time deciding on which to choose :)
ReplyDeleteEvery piece in your small collection is a gem.
ReplyDeleteI love Mad Snapper's comment!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen is the wedding?
🍁🎃🍁🍂👻🍂🍁🎃🍁
We forget what we have as treasures...until an question arises though another - certainly some treasures in your collection. Maybe recreate them into some craft item that you display in your home.
ReplyDeleteThose are all interesting pieces of jewelry. I love that you have your dads bracelet.
