It's Show & Tell over at Kelli's! This week she suggested we show you a childhood keepsake. So here are my keepsakes. If you'd like to join in, click on the graphic above.
These keepsakes are very special to me. As a result they are put up in a closet, except for the hourglass toy, because I don't want them ruined.
This lamb was made for me by my Great Grandma. I'm not sure exactly when I received it, but I have photos of me, pre-brother, with it. I've kept the lamb in many different places, but not with the kids, it's up in a closet so there are no stains and no losing it.
I'm not really sure if the bear was made for me, or my brother. It was also made by my Great Grandma, and I remember playing with it all the time at my Grandma Sarah's house.
I remember that house and my room (it was my mom and aunts room) there so well. I have the bedcover that was on the bed. We own the picture that hung above the bed. I have a crib (in storage) that looks similar to one that sat in the corner before my brother's and my crib went there. Something about childhood is so fresh. I miss that house, and that room. I'll always have these toys and so many of my Grandma Sarah's things to remind me of childhood.

Hi...visiting for the first time I think from Show and Tell...
It is so nice to have these treasures from your childhood! And lamb is so precious...I love that you have a photo of you with it- and that it is made by your g-grandma makes it even more a treasure!

It's good to have items from childhood to accompany the great memories.

Those memories are so sweet of grandma's house. We don't forget those things, even as we age.
Grandma's are wonderful aren't they. I love your post.

Memories from childhood are a safe haven that we can go back to and feel loved and cherished whenever life gets rough! I loved how you actually had a picture of you with your white lamby!

It's lambchop!
Such sweet keepsakes. And such sweet memories they hold. Thank you for sharing them with us.
What precious, precious keepsakes of things made by the loving hands of your Great Grandma. No amount of money can by memories like you have and these items you treasure.

What a cute little lamb! I still have my childhood doll, even though she's missing a leg and both eyeballs.
Thanks for your gardening tips. You must have read my mind; peat moss is the other ingredient in our dirt blend!

What precious momentos. It's so nice to have items like this from your childhood. They are so special.
That lamb is just so cute! So is the bear. I think it is so neat to have a picture from your childhood with the lamb in it. I remember that little Fisher Price toy being in our household, too.
Good Morning! I enjoyed reading about your special memories are your keepsakes are so sweet! I love the picture of when you were little!

Oh NO! You know that sentimentality leads to clutter which leads to pack ratism which leads to DUST BUNNIES which leads to MADNESS ... BWUHAHAHAH!
OK, probably a totally inappropriate response.
I love things from my childhood like that too. I'd rather have my Grandmother but since she isn't here, I hold on to the stuff. I have some way cool crochedted items too. Not toys though (I should have held on to some of those).
Take Care TJ and have a Great Weekend!

Ahem - on the word that means to make something pretty from yarn? I know I misspelled it (no d) but I'm not completely sure how to spell it RIGHT, so, I'm just saying....
STOOPID! I need an inner spellcheck.

Aaaah, is that supposed to be
Lambchop? They are so cute!
