Small Remembrance Trinkets

Several years ago I began collecting things that reminded me of my grandpa. My mom's dad.

I had a lovely old box that I'd hoped to turn into a shadow box of sorts.

My first find was the "Bartje" figure. Next came two tiny wooden shoes. Then, a bowling pin and some dominoes. Old wooden bingo pieces marked his birth date. And I even found an old Dutch Bible.

This weekend I found one more piece. A small Boston Terrier.

I'm not so sure about the shadow box idea anymore.

Maybe I'll just make them a paper house around which they can all stand, looking expectant.

I'll be looking for a small Friesen Flag.

Yarn Bag

This lovely yarn bag I found at the thrift store this morning. $2.50.

I cannot remember the last time I crocheted, but I have been known to make pompoms out of wool yarn.

That seems to entitle me to a yarn bag.

Oh. And, since I now have three (or is it four?) I guess I have a collection of them. This one is very nicely lined.

I have a plan for them, but I do not dare share just what that is. Because WHENEVER I have a plan and actually share it with someone, it seems to never happen.

Why IS that?

Anyway.., I really like this.
