Sentimental

When my mother-in-law passed away in 1996, our eldest son mentioned that he would love to have the footstool.

THE footstool.

.

It had been a gift from my father-in-law to my mother-in-law and is now lovingly cared for by their grandson and his loving wife....

.

It was a sentimental thing, I'm sure.

It's a rare, one of a kind footstool...

.

I just thought I should take a good picture of it and give it a blog post.

.

The other item, that so many of us probably remember something similar when we went to our grandparents home, was THE candy dish.

.

I love seeing this candy dish when I go visit John & Sara.

.

I think the other item that many of the grandchildren remember is the button tin.

(I think Cherie has the button tin.)

Did your grandma have a button container?
