to grandmother's house we go.

my grandmother's house is packed with treasures from all over the world.  her collection spans decades with treasures from her & my grandfather's life and travels.  without fail i find something new with each visit.  it's amazing that after years & years of visiting, the seemingly never-ending supply of wonders is....well, endless.

wonderful images of faraway lands with this stereoscope.  (it's quite apparent where my love of travel stems from).

a tin decorated with german landmarks.  inside: the medals that decorated my grandfather after the war.

a simple barometer.  i find the font stunning.

a bolt of fabric from my grandmother's closet.  she bought it in the 50's to create something jazzy.  without getting around to it, she passed it along to me.  i am not sure what i will make yet, but the wonderfully festive fabric will not go un-sewn!
