Many years ago when my Mom was still alive she gave each of us kids, all 10, all the "items" she had kept on each of us from when we were born. My birth announcement, shoes, pictures, etc. I cherish them. <br /><br />Thank you for your walk down memory lane which leads me to have my own once again.

I also cherish little things like this...the memories attached to them are precious. Some of treasures can be found in my kitchen...old aluminum measuring spoons, a pie plate, random silverware that belonged to my mom, just to name a few. They make me happy when I use them because I think of her whenever I do.

Your family loves you so much and these little bits and bobs (and fairy boobs) say it loudly. :)<br />I have little boxes like that with pieces of the past.
