I wish I'd got into all this while they were still around, I'd have loved to share moments learning it all with them. I do get to see the old lady next door though! She'll be 90 this year and I love to visit her for a cuppa now and again. She gave me some wonderful buttons in an ancient tin, they're fab :) <br />How lovely for you to have all those treasures from your Aunt and Uncle; they would be thrilled to know you were making use of them! Thank you for sharing the pictures.

You took home some real vintage treasures. <br />Having children in your 30ties has been a tradition in my family on both sides, so my nans both died when I was young. It is weird that you inherit things that you thought were 'yours', but people tell you that your Nan did things such and such. <br />Those sewing supplies are gorgeous! And of course it's a man who thinks and says: where to put everything. Well just answer; we sold some of your drills and stuff/your motorbike etc.!!!

My Mum is often say how she'd wished she kept it all for me. Obviously storage would of been a problem but when I think back, what was so yucky and old fashioned to me then, I would love it all now!<br />Have a great week<br />((hugs))<br />Beki xxxBekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507549529201274171noreply@blogger.com
