Having Grandma status myself, I can see where she was coming from ... the gift of it now gives the recipient more years of pleasure, and gives the giver the pleasure of knowing it is being treasured while still alive to enjoy the knowledge. You've pointed me to a great and useful lesson, Julie!alexahttp://simplyalexa.typepad.com/trimmingthesailsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-45939247785314154342011-11-06T23:47:59.698+00:002011-11-06T23:47:59.698+00:00There's nothing like a lovely Grandma and to h...There's nothing like a lovely Grandma and to have something of her's is so precious, it's priceless!

I love it! And of cousre all the best stories spark off another one. Or at least another memory - and you have taken me back to the collection of cups and saucers my Grandma kept on a shelf in her scullery. She only had one of each pattern, but we used to think they were so pretty.<br /><br />Again, it's a pleasure!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764280029794453933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-450857212451600172011-11-06T16:11:47.161+00:002011-11-06T16:11:47.161+00:00A lovely reminder of your Grandma xx gorgeous layo...A lovely reminder of your Grandma xx gorgeous layout Julie, I think your Gran would have loved to see the layout you created about her too.Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258116584432205229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-20909441761309633432011-11-06T15:47:40.933+00:002011-11-06T15:47:40.933+00:00I love your ethereal layout - and the cup is lovel...I love your ethereal layout - and the cup is lovely.
