I saw this idea on another blog some time ago, and thought - that's a good idea. However, I always forgot about it until about Thursday and another week had gone by. Now I can't remember where I saw it - so if it's your idea, I hope you don't mind that I have stolen borrowed it! The treasures aren't anything of great monetary value, just little things in my life that I treasure.
The first one is a little Wedgwood bowl with a silver rim. I think perhaps it was originally my grandparents. It was one of my jobs as a child to polish the silver rim - being careful not to get the polish on the bowl. Sadly, the bottom edge has several chips, but it's amazing that it survived a home that had three rowdy children - as my Dad played cricket, he was keen that we all could catch a ball, and 'catching practice' wasn't always held in the garden, much to my Mum's despair, as balls were thrown about the living room! Of course, there was the famous time when my Dad threw an egg to my Mum (forgetting she didn't do catching) - who stood and watched it smash on the kitchen floor! So - my first treasure, a little much loved bowl, which sits on the bookshelves in the lounge
