Follow-up on Grandma's Quilt

Annette suggested I send her a photo of the set of salt and pepper shakers that I got from Grandma Pew. I thought I would post it here as well, along with a photo of one of my Blakely's cactus glasses and a photo of my Grandpa Pew's little button-up shoes that he wore as a toddler. I usually have all three of these things displayed in a shadow box on my wall, but I haven't located the shadow box yet since the move.


My Grandpa was born in 1892, folks. So these shoes are over 100 years old! They used to sit on the dresser in my Grandparent's guest bedroom. I always LOVED them so when we went through the house after my Grandma passed away, that is the thing I wanted the most to remember them by. (I would have loved to have the shaker collection too, but of course I couldn't have everything! I already felt guilty enough about nabbing the shoes.) My wonderful Aunt Amy wouldn't stop looking for the shoes until she found them for me (they had been packed away in a box.) My Mom and Dad got the cactus glasses at that time, but my Mom gave them to me when I got married.

And for all my siblings out there, Annette asked you to send her a photo of your shakers and I want to see them too, so please do it!!

I always adored those shoes too. Don't feel too guilty, heh, heh!
