Last weekend I unpacked this box. We moved three months ago. Slowly but surely getting there.
This box held keepsakes from my children's early years. Royal Doulton & Royal Albert crockery were popular gifts 20+ years ago and my babies were indulged by their relatives.
Now awaiting grand-children. I'm not holding my breath.
Precious little bunny and teddies hand crafted by elderly relatives
My son's antique rattle. A Baptism gift from his Godparents
Can you see my pinkie above? This is my shiny kitchen bench top. Would you like to know how many times a day I need to wipe this service over? I surely have the cleanest benches this side of the black stump because the jet black shows every crumb!
But I love it to bits.
My daughter's Baptism candle. February is wretchedly hot and her candle kind of keeled over 20yrs ago. We made the decision to relegate it to candle heaven
My comb and brush from baby hood. This precious set is Very Old.
Now totally off topic...the latest acquisition to the redroses hacienda. A laundry basket. I'm obsessively particular about laundry hampers and it's taken me yonks to find a suitable style for the main bath. I love this weathered look. The man of the house asked if I realised it looks like it's been lying on the beach.
Bless him... that's the idea.
Our en suite still requires a new laundry hamper and let me tell you I'm having a devil of a time tracking down the style I want and not paying a small fortune for the privilege.
