I hope all of you mothers had a great Mother’s Day!  I visited my Grandma for mother’s day.  We took her out to eat and brought her some German kabobs.  It was a great day.  Inthe end, though, I was the one getting flowers!  She sent me home with some tulips from her yard.  They brightened up the kitchen!  She also sent them home in a very old Ball jar with a zinc lid!  I just love the jar!  She also sent home these pretties that are both over 100 years old!  What a great day! 🙂

Antique Treasures

My grandmother just sent me a box of antique jewelry and doodads!  I was so excited last night to rummage through all of the sentimental pieces.  I’m not sure what I am going to do with all of it, but I have some creative ideas going.  Here is a peak at the goods:

The island covered in all the treasures.

I really loved this little tray.  My grandma said it was very old.  I thought it might look cute in the bathroom when we get in refinished.

This box was special because my uncle made all of these turqoise and jade rings and pieces.  His sign is a paw print and is engraved on the back of each piece.

Exciting huh?  I will let you all know what I do with some of the pieces… I can feel the creative juices flowing…
