Little things mean a lot

There are some things that belonged to my grandmother and although they are not antiques, they are worth all the money in the world to me.

I am terribly sentimental and I have lots of little things from a bunch of different sources that mean something to me. Those are adorable.

My uncle gave me a crucifix when I was still in high school. I still have it.

Yes, I agree. They are reminding us of then when we think of them.

Yes I have this cross necklace that I got made with my daddy ashes in it and I wear it everyday.. there are people that think that it is weird that I do that but I think it is a neat little thing to do.. and I have this old bottle that was my grandma's and that has some of her ashes in as well.

That is nice. There are a few things that I have yes.

I think they are adorable. I would have wanted these too! I have a few things from my aunt Helen's house but there are so many more things to go through.

I still have my Victorinox Swiss knife my late uncle gave me when I was in my 20's

They are so cute! It's the little things which are far more valuable to us than the big things, like money! Although I'm sure that helps too. I think I would have wanted those as a reminder of her too.

I love those very cool, never seen any bottles like that but I can understand why you like them. Many many years ago I bought a beautiful globe type paperweight for my mother in law. When she passed on it's the one thing I wanted so badly to remind me of my wonderful mother in law. Thankfully I was able to get it and am pleased. As for my mom's things I know it doesnt' make sense but she had the biggest cast iron frying pan I have ever seen, I wanted it very much and my brother's and sister's didn't want it so now I have it.

Yes, I have my grandmothers thimble.it means the world to me.

I still keep and sometimes use the cuff links and tie clip which my uncle's wife gifted me on my graduation from the elementary school decades ago.

I have a few things that my mom left to me that a value. She left me her souvenir spoon set. I know people no longer collect them but there is memories of every vacation we had. I remember her buying spoons wherever we went. I will always treasure them.

Yes you are correct. There are some things which has no monetary value but still we can't leave them. I have many wrist watches which are of no use but I can't throw them because they remind me of the person who gave and I don't want to lose.

It's the memories that make something special, not the value. In that we agree. I have several things that are priceless to me but not worth a nickel to others! A painting my grandpa did, his Goodyear ashtray from way back whenever, Grandma's doilies that she tatted, a pair of her magnetic earrings, a copy of a paining that hung in my other grandma's house, and a few other things. I have a little box my mom gave me with a poem on it saying don't open it, just hold it when I need some love because that's what it's full of. I'd rather have those things than a mansion!

I thought they were really light bulbs at first! I think they do look special indeed. But you are right, little things mean a lot especially it they came from someone we love. I still keep my Mom's old scissors which she used in sewing clothes. She was a dressmaker and all my dresses when I was a kid were made by her.

I have this sea shell I picked from the shores of Cococay, Bahamas when I had gone on a cruise.

I have a china cabinet full of little glass things that belonged to my grandmother and some from my mother. The two in your photo - are they salt/pepper - I've seen something similar.

I've never seen bottles that look like that and I did think they were blue lightbulbs. When my mom passed away a few months ago I wanted her sewing box as it was something she treasured. Of course she could sew way better than me.

Yes I feel the same way as you do, I would rather have something that meant more to that person, cheaper, that what was most expensive.
