Isn't it funny how they couldn't be used until now because they were far too precious and now they just can't stay hidden anymore. I know that Heidi will enjoy them so much.Lovella ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/13870567090244361779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-56347534122412671782008-02-28T09:04:00.000-08:002008-02-28T09:04:00.000-08:00I love those treasures, some items are worth savin...I love those treasures, some items are worth saving! My favorite are the pillow cases.<BR/>I always wanted a cedar chest but never did get one, my 'hope chest' was just a box. I still have embroidered tea towels that my mother made for me and a dresser scarf that my grandma made. My favorite is a small blanket that my grandmother, mother and I put together.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18214584150711242076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-55199497805389283812008-02-28T08:27:00.000-08:002008-02-28T08:27:00.000-08:00Those tea towels with catch phrases are adorable. ...Those tea towels with catch phrases are adorable.
