Heirloom party!

Marie @ Emma Calls Me Mama is have an heirloom party!! If you have a cherished heirloom in your family, handed down through the generations, we would love to see it!

This feels like show and tell-my favorite memory of elementary school days.

These two brass candlesticks were handed down, to me, from my mother's, mother's mother. IN other words, my great-grandmother on my mothers side. We called her Bubby ( common name for Jewish grandmother). Although, she died when I was very young so a never really knew her.

As the story goes, told by my mom, Bubby brought these over from the old country (Russia). I picture her clutching these tightly as she crossed the cold ocean on "the boat" (I don't know how accurate I am with my image, but it sounds good:) The brand name is engraved on the inside bottom, "FRAGE N PLAQUE". These candlesticks are in need of a good polishing.

I display the candlesticks year round in the family room and put them on the dining room table when I host the Passover Sedar.

I did a sketch of one of the candlesticks a while ago. I sketched it in pencil and then decided to finish it in colored pencil.

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my heirloom. I don't have many other heirlooms to speak of so this one is pretty special.
