Tricia, I own an embroidered traycloth made by my gran, which I treasure. It is embroidered with hibiscus flowers and she crocheted around the edge of it. I never use it, it is kept in a drawer, as it is "old fashioned".
I inherited a gold pendant from my gran which has a photograph of my great grandfather holding my gran as a baby on one side, and on the other side, a photo of her as a young woman, aged probably about 16 (but she looks much older in the photo due to how she is dressed). It is an open pendant, the photos show and I always get complimented on it when I wear it (quite often). I was told by my gran that it would be mine when she died, and that it is made out of "early Transvaal gold". It will be my daughter's one day.
