Sandy,
If heirlooms didn’t get my attention granola did.
My mom collected MANY pieces of glassware and did a great job of “preserving” them by tucking them away, and seldom used.
I treasure dishes from mom so much that I use them as often as possible.

Okay, I would have eaten mine and then arm-wrestled my other family member for theirs. No, really I would.

Sandy, that granola parfait looks yummy! Sometimes we have that for breakfast along with fresh fruit and coffee…so good.
I have my MIL’s dishes, silver from both sides of the family, and my hubby’s GM’s crystal punch bowl and a few crystal vases. I love using them especially around the holidays. Sometimes we pull out everything for everyday dinner. If you can’t let family and friends enjoy them , no sense in using them for strangers. Who is more special than those we love and treasure?

P.S.
Have you ever heard the CHristmas Song “Heirlooms” which is sung by Aimee Grant or Ashey Nemeh?
It is one of my FAVROITE Christmas songs of all time!
Thinking of it, I was just reminded of how you stenciled “Christmas” in your your Mother’s handwriting onto the dishes for your sisters, thereby creating a wondeful heirloom!

You are the best Sandy!

As always, a wondeful, touching and thought provoking post!
I do have some some heirlooms I treasure just because they belonged to a relative and have
many memories attached to them. I remember buying some glasses once on ebay and the seller stated that they belonged to her grandmother. I thought to myself, how strange, I wouldn’t want to part withe them if that were the case!

Cheers,
John

I LOVE heirlooms. I love their history, the stories that go with them. I have a Norwegian Bible that was my husband’s grandpa’s, a couple of pieces of DH’s great-grandma’s china, teacups from both of my grandma’s and while it’s not something I can use every day, I just planted peony roots that came from my grandma’s house. Just having that stuff close to me makes me feel happy. Great post!
