Jewelry from Nannie

The other weekend, I had the opportunity to spend an afternoon with my grandmother, Nannie. She has a pretty fabulous collection of jewelry that she doesn't have as much opportunity to wear anymore - so she is letting us girls in the family go through and pick out some pieces for ourselves. So this particular Saturday afternoon was my turn.

It turned into a wonderful treasure hunt full of fun stories and memories.

There was tons to choose from....we started here...

Then moved on to the jewelry box here(its under the flower pot):

And if that weren't enough options, we the moved here:

And just when I thought we had gotten through all of it, we opened the cabinet on the wall!

In summary, there were so many boxes to open, drawers to sort through, stories to be told, it was quite a fun time. And in the end I think I picked out quite a nice little pile of stuff.

Note: the white teddy bear was a gift for the baby...not actually one of the things to be found amongst the jewelry. But it go to be pictured any way.

There will likely be more posts on this visit to come, there were too many good finds to post all in on post.
