Family Treasures

My Grandparents were such loving kind people and I have the best childhood memories of spending holidays with them so these family treasures gifted to me for my 40th Birthday mean so much and more

3 new to me table cloths
2 hand embroidered by my Grandmother
Handwritten recipe book 
So many happy memories come flooding back seeing my Grandparents handwriting

Birthday flowers and Grandmas table cloth

My birthday teapot cup and saucer and some crochet 
Birthday flowers and Grandmas tablecloth


Linking in with Max at Blackbird has spoken with Op-Shop Show Off - even though these were gifted to me

It's so nice to know you can care for these treasures. I inherited a lot of my Mum's embroidered linen so I turned them into a quilt. It was hard to slice them up at first but I love the quilt and use it so it was worth it.
