To Grandma's House We Go

Great Grandma's house is so cozy 
and filled with all sorts of vintage finds.
She has a story for each and every object 
that she's collected all these years.






 I think all of my cousins have found this magazine while treasure hunting at Great Grandmas.  This was the ultimate supremo find and made us feel super sluethy. 
 
 
Hi-Ho! Cherry-O was my favorite game to play at Great Grandma's when I was little.
Does anyone else remember this game?


This is my favorite photo of mom's family.  I think it's the fashion that really speaks to me.

I do recognize Grandma's brooch.  It's in my collection of sparkles.  And Grandma's glasses - I love them!
 
Vintage packaging.  Underalls is a very clever name for pantyhose.
Whenever I wear pantyhose from now on- I'm just going to refer to them
as my underalls.

  3. You snooper you,you did a great job capturing the essence of Grandma's. My favorite picture is the one through the bedroom window curtain. I like them all but that's my favorite.

  4. No matter where I have lived, Granny's has always been home. I just to think of a day when someone else might live there.
