Pretty Things Tuesday: Adding to the Collection
April 26th, 2011 § 2 Comments
Hi there,
I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend!
Peter had a lot of fun during an Easter egg hunt with his cousin, Matthew, and a slew of second-cousins.
So, I received a lovely gift from my husband’s grandmother, Peter’s “GiGi” (great-grandmother), this weekend:
…a couple of additions to my little owl family! They are actually vintage banks. My husband’s late grandfather, Peter’s great-grandfather, Peter, Jr., (did you know that my son is “Peter the fifth?” And did you also know that my father’s name is Peter? We’ve got a case of “Peter” overload up in here), well, years ago Peter, Jr. collected banks.
One day my thoughtful sister-in-law, Andrea, saw this pair in GiGi’s basement and told her about my thing for owls. Well, GiGi shined these babies up and gave them to me this weekend. Sadly, I never had the chance to meet Peter, Jr., since he passed away five years before I started dating my husband, but I feel very special to now have part of his collection in my collection. I will take very good care of them. Thank you Ange and GiGi 
Enjoy your day!
I’m so glad the owls made their way home with you. It was fun “shopping” in Gram’s basement…we took some treasures home too!
What did you get? Tonight I’m going to check out a coffee table I found on Craigslist…
