Thank you for finding me and giving me the opportunity to read your blog. <br/>One of the things that I am absolutely, willfully, not taking no for an answer taking with me to the States are my grandmother's patchwork quilts. I have four quilts, three of which she made by hand with my mother's little girl dresses. The third she made for me when I left home for college using my baby clothes.<br/>Some thing are not mere things, you know? Wow, how I relate to this post.

I chuckled at the word "heirloom" in your comment--it's just so far removed from my own impression of my family! Too funny.<br/><br/>Bongga mom, you can always get them now (what's a few years when the spoons would hopefully be around for hundreds?)! The only reason my mom got one is because they offered it for a dollar...can you believe that? And I'm counting on you to remind me if/when any babies arrive in my house!<br/><br/>Milva, hooray for Libras! I'm not a big collector of "things," but these are definitely some I'll hang on to.<br/><br/>MidnightBunny, long live the Michelles! Thanks for stopping by :)<br/><br/>R, *everything* you say is interesting; thanks for commenting!<br/><br/>Cheeky, I'm happy that you're thinking of your mum--and thanks for the back-up on the tea strainer. We younger Americans are clueless sometimes ;) Ally, I thought the baby spoon was pretty cool too; like I said, my family isn’t big on these sorts of things, so it’s extra-special to me.

Kali, I’m glad you enjoyed the memories–it was fun remembering them too :)

Erin, thanks! I chuckled at the word “heirloom” in your comment–it’s just so far removed from my own impression of my family! Too funny.

I wish I had thought of buying silver baby spoons when mine were babies, now it's too late. Don't forget to buy one more for your collection one day when your babies are born! That’s beautiful.
