I don't have very many items in my home that I treasure. Yes, I like fun stuff, but if the house were on fire the one item I would want to make sure I grabbed is this little treasure:
It isn't perfect, but the sentimental value is priceless. I think my momma left her toddler size mark on the inside of the door. I can just imagine her in a baby doll style dress and dark ringlets.
It doesn't hold much. What I found in the drawer today is probably a bit different than what it used to hold in years past.
I didn't even realize until I took the picture how different the tin is in each door. Now that I look at it, I believe the tin on the right is the original.
Yep, it's not perfect, but it is a treasure to me.
Do you have a treasured heirloom? Do tell!

You're right that only one of the door tins is original; and that I drew the star on there; and that I was thrilled to pass it on to you as soon as I got it because I knew it wouldn't be long until you had your own to share it with. The ringlets were blonde... but when the ringlets turned to waves they were brown.
I was really blessed that this is the one item that you treasure enough to grab in case of fire. Stuff is only stuff, but memories are sweet. I remember you playing with the china miniature dishes that your grandma kept in this little pie safe for your visits, & that's a sweet memory for me!
That is precious... What a beautiful treasure!!
