I started collecting silver baby cups, because I found one with a name engraved on it at Salvation Army. It just made me sad to think someone had gotten rid of their child's cup, or their cup from their childhood. So I just started buying them everytime I saw one. I care for them and try and picture the precious little hands that used to hold them.<br />ll in ksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-23378028720635299892011-01-20T07:13:56.974-06:002011-01-20T07:13:56.974-06:00that's just the happiest little stitchery I...that's just the happiest little stitchery I've ever seen!

Well, they don't actually SPEAK to me, but to my heart. Forgotten loves, forgotten lives, special faces. I buy them, I frame them, I hang them in my home and love them. They are not forgotten. I have more strangers sometimes hanging about my home than relatives. But they are all loved and their stories imagined too.lifespassionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826387034908184968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-6845742327894212022011-01-17T20:29:17.675-06:002011-01-17T20:29:17.675-06:00So glad you saved it.

It's priceless to me. You will never be forgotten - the chick in the cleavage story will be passed down foreva. Others too.

I have collected a few of my family member's needlepoints...love them!<br />You should write a book, so funny how you made up the story about Florence. I once thought I wanted to write a book until I went to a writing class, it was hard! Then once the teacher said "write an outline/book about how you want your life to be" it was a piece of <br />cake! I need to stay off the computer and finish writing the book! I applaude your once a week<br />writing of your blog so you can have more time to do things you want!

But my children won't know what to do with it, so why do I hang on to it? I also find auction very sad, someone loved these items.

Sometimes you just have to let go... Example, what do you do with family diplomas from the late 18oo's when there are no heirs to pass them to? Seriously. Jayme, if you or your other readers have an idea for me I would really appreciate your suggestions! :)<br />(pixilated at att dot net)<br /><br />As for you there are none in this audience that will not remember you warmly and fondly. I think you touch so many lives in a special way. And the lovely crewel work, well I am glad you saved it. It is a good piece.
