CLUTTER TIP FOR TODAY ~ GIVE A FUR NEW LIFE

After grandma died and my mother was no longer wearing her mink coat my sister had the 2 fur coats turned into darling bears. I have these cute bears sitting on a shelf to remind me of my mother and grandma. So much better than giving a fur coat to thrift store and it is gone for ever. You can search the Internet or ask a local seamstress if they can do make over furs.

Wonderful Memories And Old Family Soup Bowls

I was reading a story over at Greta's Genealogy Bog about memories of old bowls and children fighting over one certain bowl. I had those same bowls at one time. They would not break.
My bowls that bring back great memories are these old soup bowls that belonged to my mother. I remember her warming up Campbell's Tomato soup. She would serve in these bowls with a few crackers along side.
I still have them and use them several times a week for my soup or chili. I still feel like a little girl every time I have some soup with a few crackers or a piece of bread on the side.
Got to love those old memories.. Grace
