Cherished Keepsakes

I feel very honored and blessed to come from a family of great women. My maternal grandmother lived to be 97 years old and my mother is now 78. My great great grandmother traveled from the East Coast to the Midwest as a child in a covered wagon in the 1800's. She raised her 5 grandchildren when her daughter suddenly died and made a living as a seamstress after her husband headed West to the gold rush and never returned. I have a heritage to be proud of. I was absolutely thrilled when my mother gave me my grandmother's vintage fostoria dishes. I use them for very special occasions and will pass them down to my daughter and granddaughters.
