I'm joining Marcela's party over on her blog. She asked us to share what makes our hearts skip a beat. Of course, my family, who you get to see all the time on my blog & facebook. But especially hearing my hubby do one of his favorite things... sing. You can hear him over on our church's website. He wrote these songs himself, too! I also like little things that belonged to people in our family that make me think about them. Like the box of my grandmother's earrings & buttons in the first photo. Some of these made it into my sister & sister-in-law's Christmas gifts last year.
This box belonged to Glenn's mom. And maybe someone before her. It looks like it could be much older than her. I use it for my sewing box. Has anyone else seen anything like this? I also like: Birds - 
Old enamel pins -
Old ribbons, rick rack, seam binding, lace, & other trims. I bought this suitcase full of goodies at the Shadelands antique show a few years ago. BTW, it's coming up again June 14 & I'm planning to go. AND I'm planning to go to the Martinez Peddler Days this weekend, too. I guess antique shows & estate sales make my heart skip a beat, too!

Your grandmothers jewels are such treasures to have. I also have a set of my grandmother's costum jewelry and one black onyx brooch from my great grandmother that I truly cherish and I feel so special whenever I have an occasion to wear them.
