A beautiful Christmas present for me.

I was at my aunt´s house today when she told me that she wanted to give me something if I was interested. They were some beautiful big table napkins, embroidered with my grandfather´s inicial that belonged to the trousseau that my great grandmother sent to my grandparents from Germany when they got married. Of course I wanted them! My aunt said that there had been many of them and that I could use them as dishtowels. But of course I will not use them to dry dishes. They will be kept by me as relics of a long gone past. My aunt is giving me this as a way of telling me that I´m her favorite niece too. It was a beautiful day.

This is wonderful, your aunt giving you those beautiful family heirlooms! Mom gave me an old family Bible, which I cherish:)

@marguicha It has some kind of fancy hand-writing, like I'd never seen before.

I am using those beautiful big napkins with the initials of my great grandmother as dishtowels. They are too big as napkins and it is a shame not to use them.

I think that I´ll do that . It is no use to save them for my daughters. They will not be interested in them.

@LadyDuck My daughter are not even interested in having glasses. They broke all of them (and I gave them plenty from time to time) and they drink out of cups even on occasions.

@marguicha I know that my niece would not be interested, at least I will have a use for them.
