I only have a few Heirlooms, The one I could get to quickly was this Lenox candy dish that was my grandmother's.Her name was Lucy Stanton Collins,she was born in 1900 and died in 1998.She was a wonderful dedicated christian woman. This is one of the serving dishes that was likely to be used to serve some of her delicious homemade bread & butter pickles just as often as it would some type of candy. The socials she hosted ,would have been for church groups,or numerous family bridal or baby showers. This has been a pleasant time remembering my Grandmother . To continue on to see other Family Heirlooms,visit Marie's blog, here and enjoy !
Thanks for stopping by , I've enjoyed your visit.;-)

Hi Myrna, thanks for dropping by. Your grandmother's dish is so sweet. I love the pattern, and the fact that you can remember her using it so many times, makes it even more special. Have a great weekend!

Oh what a lovely dish! I have a similar one -- also Lenox -- that was my Mom's. Your Grandmother sounds like she was a wonderful lady!

That is so pretty! You are lucky to have that in your family! I have a few things that my grandmother has given me that i cherish. Gotta love heirlooms.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty dish to remember your Grandmother by. It would look even better filled with candy! Thank you for sharing your heirloom and a bit about your Grandma!
ReplyDeleteSweet dish and lovely memories. I just love how everything was so pretty and put together in our grandparents time. I wonder what all we do that can really be so important we don't get these lovely socials put together like they used to. ( well I cannot seem to do it anyway)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and for stopping by!
