So here is mine:
Mildred Waldean McPeak Carathers
My grandmother.
I received this plastic sewing box from her estate.
Inside were all these treasures.
Ribbons from the 1940 Tri-State Fair, Texas and 2 from the 1958 Tennessee State Fair.
I wonder what she entered.
I already pulled from this box to make Sally's quilt. There are still lots of items
in here to make more treasures. She had cut the triangles for, what I'm thinking, were to be flying geese. Did you see the ivory crochet needles and pearl buttons?
Maybe it's time for me to start a sewing box so my granddaughter can someday find my treasures!

What a lovely gift. I inherited my grandmothers silver thimble. It was black until I cleaned it. It was engraved with her name and 1915 on it. These memories are so precious.
