Your kitchen trinkets, previously belonging to your dear mother, are wonderful little gadgets that access those special moments that you shared with her. I have the exact same set of teaspoons, which have turned out to be the most durable, having travelled with me since I was a young wife and mother, myself.<br /><br />Wishing you a lovely weekend!<br /><br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-4903096211897154052014-05-02T14:09:27.138-07:002014-05-02T14:09:27.138-07:00love the treasures. the measuring spoons reminded ...love the treasures. the measuring spoons reminded me of my own mom. :) i'm the youngest of 8 as well, but moved from wis to texas when i was 20 so lost so many years with my family... *sigh*TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-88259619867330073152014-05-01T17:05:07.759-07:002014-05-01T17:05:07.759-07:00I know how you feel.

She lived next door to me while I was growing up and had such an influence in my life. I love all of these old fashioned things much better than anything new (and cheap) to use in the kitchen. Sending you lots of sweet hugs for such a wonderful post!

She had almost all these items, and they all remind me of her, just like your sweet Mom. Cakes, jello, homemade bread and pasta sauce...all to feed her family. She really got joy from that.<br />Thank you for waking up some loving memories in for her.

It's always the littlest things that we tend to hold on to than anything else. But, they are our treasured memories and I am so grateful for them. Just knowing that one day, we will all be reunited with them again, is just priceless. I have a ring that my dad bought for me when I was first married and I treasure that more than anything else. He picked it out and gave it to me. It has so much love attached to it, I'll cherish it forever. And, my grandma taught me how to cook with Love and that will never leave me. I have all of her cook books and I use them all to this day. She inspired me to be a good cook and to bless others with my talent.<br /><br />This was such a good post, thank you for sharing from your heart. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />AmyGod's Grace Overflowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373639150472128918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-29390415907855526602014-04-30T15:29:10.782-07:002014-04-30T15:29:10.782-07:00Dear Debby, I am so glad you still feel the love a...Dear Debby, I am so glad you still feel the love and the sadness of your Mother; Firstly the love she gave to you and the memories and treasures.

WOW! I am amazed that we have nearly all the same things in our kitchen, though mine are from my 97 year old grandmother, who is still living. She gave me many of her kitchen dishes and pots and pans for my hope chest when I was just a teen. The ceder hope chest was her mothers and it was given to me since I was the first grand-daughter. It now lives in Stephanie's home as I handed it down to her. My favorite cake pans to use are the aluminum ones, they make a cake turn out the best! I still use the measuring spoons, but they are getting very thin.<br />What a joy this was for me, thank you!<br />Have a blessed day!Debbie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661813843716269751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-79501393124827572272014-04-30T10:36:44.386-07:002014-04-30T10:36:44.386-07:00Debby, This was a sweet walk down memory lane for ...Debby, This was a sweet walk down memory lane for me today.

I often travel down memory lane in this same way. Just this morning I folded a plaid blanket that some of my friends gave me when she passed. It has the phrase "Come here and give me a hug, lovey" embroidered on it. I spoke at her services and told how she always said this to all of her grandchildren when ever we visited. My friends remembered and gave me this precious gift. It's the little things that give us such fond memories.

My cousin asked me to find 2 of those white Fireking mugs just like yours because she & her brother drank Ovaltine out of them in the 50's/60's. She does not know what happened to them, but her parents no longer have them - probably chipped or broken/thrown away long ago. I did find them & gifted them with them. AND I also grew up w/a black doxie. Most estate sales I go to have the same kitchen things over & over again. There must not have been much of a selection back then in the stores. And I prefer estate sales in modest homes for that reason - such memories!
