«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 232 of 232You have the best giveaways! Lisa's work is amazing and would be great to pass down. Thanks!
I was excited to get my grandma's copy of Charlotte's Web and we've read it several times to our boys.
Love love love your blog, and I love Lisa Leonard's jewelry designs.
I inherited a plaque that used to hang in my grandmother's kitchen - now it hangs in mine and makes me feel happy and rooted every time I see it.
I inherited a blanket that was knit when I was baby and I've used it for my two sons and plan to use it again for my third due in May.
I would like to pass my pearls to my daughter.

I inhereted my mothers china that she recieved from her mother as a wedding gift. I LOVE these dishes!
i have a quilt that my great grandma made. I would love to hand that down to my children someday!
oh yes, a shadow box to remind you chubby little baby fingers and toes sounds lovely!
Some of my great-grandmother's china. Such a gracious lady.
Love this giveaway!
I have my Grandma Campbell's dressing set-a silver brush and mirror engraved with a "C". She was so kind to let my cousins and I play with them when we were little (and even sneak a squirt of her signature 'White Diamonds' perfume!). I treasure those memories and look forward to passing them on to the next generation.

i love my great grandma's rocking chair and my parents old oak table-solid and well worn.
Many years ago my grandmother gave me the locket that she wore while my grandfather was over seas during World War two. It is a link to a couple that I love so very much and to a love that made it through some tough times.
I inherited a big curvy antique dresser from my great grandmother, it went to my grandpa, my mom and now me. I love the idea of handing it down to my son.
I have a lovely hand made slip that my mother inherited from her aunt and now passed on to me. Not only is the slip hand made but so is the amazing lace. What a lovely little treasure!
My mom gave me a pearl ring that my grandmother gave her. If I have a daughter one day, I'll pass it on.
There are also a few things my mom made or got for me when I was a baby that I'd love to see in my little one's nursery.
So beautiful
My great grandmother hand embroidered and hand stitch my bedding when I was a baby and toddler. I still have all the blankets and pillows that were made. My daughter loves to feel the stitching and hearing the story behind each piece. She has used most of the items herself. When my baby has her baby I plan on passing down all these lovely items.
I plan to pass down my grandmothers bible and class ring to my children.
Thanks for a chance to win!
I inherited my grandmother's ring. She had it turned into a cocktail ring when she and my grandpa got divorced, but we had it re-made (with her permission) into a wedding ring. A grandmother's love is much stronger than anything that passed between her and my grandfather, and it's perfect for us.
um, awesome giveaway! Oh, I've inherited so much great stuff - my favourite thing, though, has to be my great-grandmother's cast iron skillet. amazing!
I inherited some lovely little dessert dishes with pink roses from my grama L. I love them. If I win I'll pass them on to you!!!! (is that called a bribe)?
Absolutely beautiful! I hope today is my lucky day!
I want to pass on my Wedgwood dishes that my in-laws bought us for our wedding. They are BEAUTIFUL.
I am lucky enough to have both my mother and grandmother still with me so I don't have a lot of keepsake type treasures...however, I do have a lovely little wooden jewelry box that my mother received at her high school graduation to keep my own treasures in :)
a ruby ring from my grandfather. he inherited it from his mother & i hope to pass it on to my first daughter or first granddaughter!
I am going to inherit a ring from my Nana who passed away this past December. I haven't gotten it yet, but we are doing a # drawing with all the grand-daughters, so whoever gets #1 gets to have first dibs on a ring. Since I am the only one who lives far away- like out of state. They are going to e-mail me the pix and then call me when they do the drawings. I am so glad that my aunt is including my in such a special way. I will feel truly best to have a piece of my Nana with me always!
I would love to pass down my engagement ring to my granddaughter when I'm older. I think that is such a nice tradition!

Several years ago my grandmother gave me the quilt that my great grandmother made specifically for her bed when she was a young girl. I just moved. Once I get settled it will be on my own bed. The love that went into each hand-stitched hexagon now connects five generations. While my son may appreciate it, I have a feeling that I will one day have a granddaughter who will appreciate it more.
I have a porcelin box from China that my mother bought me on a trip to China which was the last gift that she gave me before she died. It's something I would like to pass down to my daughters. Love Lisa Leonard - I have one of her necklaces with my girls initials on it (but I would love MORE of her stuff since it's lovely).
Thanks for the chance to win this..My son is 2 years and 2 months and I have been logging his daily accomplishments since he was born in a diary/scrapbook format - I am soo looking forward to sharing that with him when he gets older. Thanks again!!!
i have inherited my mother's squash blossom necklace. she bought it when she was working on a navajo reservation after she got her master's from byu and before she met my father. i have loved it since i was a little girl, and she gave it to me as a wedding present. so far, we have 2 boys of our own, and i'm hoping for a little girl to pass it on to, otherwise i am hoping for a very special daughter-in-law some day!

Something I'd like to pass down...? A love of reading. In fact, some days I share at the book shelves and think "the Wizard of Oz books will go to H, and the Little House on the Prairie books will go to M, and the...
i inherited my grandmother's wedding band.. for their 25th wedding anniversary, they had the stone from her engagement ring set in the most beautiful setting ever. i rarely take it off. i want it to be in my family forever!

my great aunt always made a green bean salad for thanksgiving and presented it in a delicate flower bowl year after year. one thanksgiving i told her that i wanted to write my name on the bottomof the dish so that when she finally went to heaven i would have her 'green bean bowl' to remember her by. the next day my doorbell rang & it was aunt ellie - alive and well with the clean bowl in her hands. she wanted me to have it now so would think of her daily. she as long since passed away but the bowl with many wonderful memories lies on!
