Holiday decorations in my home town

 Holiday decorations in my little hometown of Cowpens, South Carolina.   The old train depot was built in1896 and was in service until the mid 1950's. It has been at this spot as a museum since the mid  90's. My mom and dad celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary here.

Quilting by Grandma Mattie Bell Franklin

My cousin Judy recently gave us some quilts and toppings that belong to Grandma Franklin.

We took them with us to Wisconsin on vacation, and Leah and her mom gave us some good ideas about finishing the quilts. We also learned that some of the quilt pictured was hand stitched and some of it was machine stitched.  

Documenting Keepsakes

My wife has had this lamp since she was 12 years old.  The light works and the clock keeps accurate time but we lost the metal whip that would go up and down during out last move.  It is special treasure for her!  

Documenting Keepsakes

 KEEPSAKES:  This book holder was hand carved in India, see picture below.  "Completely hand carved in India from one solid piece of Himalayan Jungle Sheesham wood..." 


This is one of the treasures Cindy received when her grandmother passed,  it held the family Bible for many years but we are not sure who gave this to Mam-Ma Baggett.
