Friday Club Carnival - An item I love.....

I was meant to write about one item in my home that I love.

Being someone who has a home full of various kinds of stuff I love I found this very hard.

So I chose three small items.

Three pieces of jewellery.

Am I cheating? Probably....but they are all too important to me to be left out.

I was given this necklace on my 21st birthday by my Mum.

She was given it on her 21st birthday by my Grandmother.

My Grandmother was given it for her 21st birthday by her family.

I love that it has family history.

I love that it is so delicate and beautiful.

I love that I will be able to give it to one of my daughters on their 21st birthday.

I love the simplicity of these pearl earrings.

They were given to me when I was quite young by my paternal Grandmother.

I don't see her very much any more due to us living at opposite ends of the country.

When I wear these they make me think of her and smile.

I thought I had lost this necklace years ago.

One day a few weeks ago I spent some time looking in my jewellery box.

In the very bottom, in a tiny box filled with cotton wool I found it.

It was tarnished and the chain was far too short as I had last worn it as a 10 year old.

I took it to a jewellers, had the chain made longer and had it cleaned.

I'll now never forget my own name.
