While looking at the many THREADS collected over the years … decorative throws, pot holders, table cloths, blankets, towels, and shawls. These are they that your Ancestors may have picked up at conferences, vacations spots, sports games or trinkets from some roadside stand. Remembering the reason these items were kept in drawers or closets all this time is important. IDEA - pin a note to the items - why they were bought and who wanted them. These blankets, shawls and other personal items … these are items the family loves to talk about. The memories make great stories to keep.
