Framed Sentimental Keepsakes
Ever wonder what to do with keepsakes?
My mother was extremely creative. She was also very sentimental and rarely threw anything away. One of my favorite keepsakes she framed were my grandfather’s personal items like his old straight blade razor, shaving brush, hair clippers and coin purse.
Yes, coin purse. He didn’t like having loose change in the pockets of his overalls.
I have fond memories hearing the “ding ding” of the ice cream truck coming down the street. When I asked him for money, he would pull out his coin purse while my brothers chased the ice cream man to stop. We were a great team to pull that feat off no matter where we were in the neighborhood.
My grandfather always had the biggest smile after seeing the three of us walk up to his front porch with our favorite ice cream in hand.
When loved ones pass away, it’s nice to have something of theirs to help keep the memories alive.
