It's beautiful. And the stories it must tell... Imagine the excitement she must have felt coming over on a steamer at the turn of the century... :)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694559900539722616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338243776387462255.post-84752453265968306132011-10-25T08:59:09.853-04:002011-10-25T08:59:09.853-04:00That is a definite treasure.

So when sis and I cleaned out that barn during the summer of 2010, we found it in the back. I thought it was perfect as is and had someone just clean it up. It sits by my bed now and functions as a bedside table and holds most of my bed linens. I love this the most: it has my grandmother's initials painted on the side "SMA" in a cursive script. She must have used it when she went off to school, around 1920.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338243776387462255.post-8179503727746539242011-10-25T08:08:52.202-04:002011-10-25T08:08:52.202-04:00What a treasure Leonora!

My winter mittens and coat always used to smell faintly of them after having been put away for the summer. So yes . . . a great smell of winter. xxooMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.com
