I went to visit my family in Chicago, and while at my Grandma's, I mentioned to my sweet cousin how much I adored these little does. Upon my return home, these were waiting in the mailbox =)

I have all of these tiny trinkets from my grandparent's and great aunt's homes that I have saved in glass jars. One day, when I have my house, I'll be happy to proudly display my little heirlooms. I don't know why, but I find heirlooms incredibly intriguing. Maybe the fact that every piece carries some history, or a story to it? That could be why I love Antique stores so much too. (Either that or I'm just a hoarder hahaha.)

Do you keep heirlooms?
