It is cloche party time again with our able hostess, Marty, at
A Stroll Thru Life.
You will be inspired by all of the wonderful ideas of the participants. Be sure to go by Marty's for a list.
For my cloches this time, I have assembled some jewelry, etc. from my family.
Four of the pocket watches belonged to my paternal grandmother and grandfather, and a great, great uncle. The gold watch with the bird engraving belonged to my great grandmother. The little crocheted change purse in the lower right corner belonged to my maternal grandmother.
The medium-sized cloche is sitting on my mother's baby cap, and encloses my grandmother's wedding ring, my grandfather's cuff links, another grandfather's stick pins, and a pin belonging to my grandmother. The picture is of one of my great grandmothers taken when she was 16.
Sally, how wonderful that you are the "keeper" of these special treasures. That watch with the bird on it is so sweet. Such a good idea to display these beauties in cloches. (I also really like that mat you have everything on). laurie

Hello Dearheart...
ReplyDeleteOhhh...this is the sweetest display of cloches, my friend! To have all of these precious family treasures...well, it's just wonderful! I love your grandmother's beautiful watch with the bird engraving! I was just wondering where you found that little cloche with the hook? Was it specifically made for displaying the watch? I've never seen one like that before! Ohhh...and that little crocheted pocket purse is gorgeous! It's all beautiful! I really enjoyed looking through some of your sweet family treasures, my friend! Thank you for sharing them with us!!!
How are you getting along, Sally? I hope that your shoulder is healing up nicely! Are you having to see a physical therapist? Wow...I just realized that I must sound like a little question box...hehe! Well Darlin'...you take care and I would love to hear from you when you get a chance! Let me know how you're doing!
Love and prayers,
