My husband's grandmother...I know how you feel! My husband's grandmother was three weeks away from being 105 when she passed away. She loved being called "Mammy" by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mammy was the 13th of 14 children (lucky 13!) She and my husband's parents lived on the same farm in eastern North Carolina. One day Mike and I were "exploring" and found her dough bowl in a little storage barn on the dirt floor! Well worn from all the biscuits and pastry she had made for years, our attitude was "finders keepers!" So, we took it home. My husband's aunt and uncle (that owns that particular piece of property) weren't upset when they saw it sitting on my kitchen table when they came over for Thanksgiving dinner that year!<br /><br />Every time I pass by it, I think of Mammy. I see her bent over her kitchen table, whistling a little tune, and making a big batch of biscuits. A little piece of her is with me - in a relic that had been discarded, but was so much a part of her life!Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14109886257253195709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930636216995110322.post-15555316304324555722009-09-14T07:34:49.064-05:002009-09-14T07:34:49.064-05:00You're so lucky to have such great shops aroun...You're so lucky to have such great shops around you not to mention great friends who come by with auction finds. This was a pretty dry weekend for me as far as purchases but were very busy in the shop. Looking forward to your pictures.
