I was in the mood to photograph some a few of the special vintage goodies I have… thought I would share a couple. This quilt was made by my Great Grandmother on my Mother’s side of our family. It is so special to have things made by her hands. I love how colorful and simple it is. I feel blessed to have this handed down to me by my Grandmother. I also have this cute Sock Monkey made by my Great Grandmother. We love monkeys in our house! Funny how popular they are these days, a vintage classic for sure and fun to boot. I feel so fortunate to have these pieces of our past, they mean so much!

I love old things…old jars…cameras…quilts…chairs…well anything vintage for the most part. I love things that have a history. These particular jars were my Grandmother’s. I think I can remember them out on her counter or in her pantry when I was a child. I love the blue green glass and the metal tops, they are so pretty. Things from the past have such a simple beauty. It may be silly, but I wish there was a way I could hear the story of where they have been and who has used them. Things used to be made so much better than they are today. They were solid, heavy duty and durable. I wonder if some of the things we use today will still be around when our grandchildren and great grandchildren are grownups. I don’t think it will be the same. We live in such a disposable society these days, things aren’t made to last. I guess we will see.
