I love pinterest and have a board dedicated to things that have precious memories for me.
On that board I placed a picture of some melamine dishes that were purchased by my parent in 1957. When my family bought land in 1956 in Collingwood and built a cottage we had these dishes as the first set of dishes in our new house.
My daughter a accomplished interior decorator has very specific taste in decorating and has not wanted any of the "Old" things I had boxed away so you could imagine how excited I was when she saw these dishes on my pinterest board and said she could probably use them. I am so pleased that something that has great sentimental meaning for me may go on for a while with her.
Funny how, as I get older the things that make me happy.
