I came across a lovely blog, Emma Calls Me Mama, who is hosting an Heirloom Party. People are sharing their heirloom treasures, which I thought was such a fantastic idea. I adore heirlooms, and have a few to share.
This old tattered Portraits album has been in my family as long as anyone remembers. Most of the pictures were compiled by my grandmother, and contain charming old photos of family.
Most of the pictures are from the 20's, and 30's.
I love the fashions they are wearing!
And this gorgeous gold bracelet belonged to my great grandmother, who passed away in 1942.
It has her initials monogrammed on it RCF. We think the bracelet was made in the 20's.
And lastly, a collection of glassware, made by my great, great uncle who worked for a glass company in the 20's in Pittsburgh PA. They are all so beautiful!
Don't forget to visit Emma Calls Me Mama to see other Heirloom treasures. I'm looking forward to reading through all of them!
