The hope chest is a wonderful place to gather and treasure heirlooms. I don’t have a lot of heirlooms from previous generations to pass on to my children. In spite of this, with some foresight and planning, I can create an heirloom. An heirloom is simply an object of special value, passed from one generation to another. These objects don’t necessarily need to be valuable in a monetary way, just made special somehow through loving memories and sentimental feelings.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Amy's daddy bought her a beautiful sunflower platter today for her hopechest. Its large enough to use for ham or turkey for serving ... maybe I will get invited and won't have to do all the cooking!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of reviving the hope chest; such a splendid thing to do for a daughter or granddaughter.
ReplyDeletethe shakers are so nice! I love vintage style. They will add to the decor of the holiday table.
