I realize that the person who had these things, used them loved them, and for some reason the family has the parts they want, and it's time for someone else to see their value and love them and cherish them again. You found the items, and see their beauty and value. I'm sure that is all that the makers, keepers could wish for. Truth be know, the person who saved the item is probably gone, and maybe even their children are gone, to the point of nobody knows who that watch belonged to etc. you gave it one last hoorah. Good for you.<BR/>MargoMargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15964062909750414354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624729881700508557.post-73926401543051548302008-04-16T07:14:00.000-04:002008-04-16T07:14:00.000-04:00tis so fun..and love your finds are GREATsmiles, D...tis so fun..and love your finds are GREAT<BR/><BR/>smiles, DeenaSweetAnneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707990672213846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624729881700508557.post-28128520430420182992008-04-15T23:52:00.000-04:002008-04-15T23:52:00.000-04:00Hello Sher!

I have lots of items which bring back precious memories (of things that havezcome to pass) which can never be sold as cheap as how they're being sold in an auction. They're priceless. My kid's baby bracelets, umbilical cords, 1st nails cut, 1st hair cut, 1stbday dress,bday candles, old coins from grandma, pencils, stationeries in preschool, mom's bag, dad's loveletters, stamps, photos etc....i've got tons and for someone not as sentimental as me, they call them fire hazards...Most of the things I display in our house has a story of its own and I've decided to keep them for life. We can't hold back the hands of time but it's always nice to have something to refreshen our minds of the many journeys we've gone through....Thanks for being an inspiration to me! You never know how much you've touched my life in such a short time I've known you. Keep your light shining. God bless you!...Your cousin,Annabel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624729881700508557.post-22889443546390539022008-04-15T23:46:00.000-04:002008-04-15T23:46:00.000-04:00Sher, I have done that very same thing with garage...Sher, I have done that very same thing with garage sale things, etc. I got a box someplace, a wooden box with a lid, like a box you might keep treasures in. Someone had lined it with satin over cardboard or something. Between that and the box, I found a little picture of a man, a very old picture. I wonder to this day who that man was, no doubt he's gone. Someone who was loved by someone enough to put his picture in a little treasure box.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I had another thought on your frogs. You know, my first thought when I heard about them was that they were mating too. But what if we're reading it wrong? What if the big frog is on some exercise program to improve her health and has asked the little one to ride on her back so she can get strong? Perhaps she's spending part of the day doing push-ups with the extra weight on her back.<BR/><BR/>Just thought I'd toss in my thought there. <BR/><BR/>Love, JanetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
