Most Treasured Possessions

Thursday, 5 May 2016

Teddy bear

A while ago, Stephanie over at Life at 139A wrote a post about what her treasured processions.  Like most people's, her's were ones with sentimental rather than monetary value.  Even things like computers, phones etc were valuable because of the information on them.  All those photos!

This got me wondering about what mine would be.  After some thought, I choose the following items:

  • My mother's powder compact as she used it everyday.  
  • The poem our friend Sean wrote for Rev T and I that he gave us as a wedding gift.  
  • My teddy, Amadeus.  (No, I don't know why he's called that either).  He's over 50 years old as he was "acquired" from my older sister. 
  • The pictures we've purchased on our family travels.
  • After tidying the top of the wardrobe, I'm editing to add the Tubblet's first outfit and shoes.  (I thought they'd got lost in a house move.  I was thrilled to find them!)

The family and the gerbils goes without saying. Rev T will probably ask why my Kindle isn't on the list, but I think it's covered by "Tech".

    Oh such lovely treasured possessions. This has got me thinking now? What would mine be? I have a bear from childhood that has been passed onto the children so that I think and also a box with my children's firsts like curl of hair etc :-) #stayclassy

    You have gerbils?!! I love gerbils. I used to have several pairs. Sorry, back to the point of the post. Hard to choose just a few most treasured possessions! The poem is certainly precious indeed.

      We have the Tubblet's first pair of shoes and a few outfits ... While they're on the list, they'd be difficult to grab as they're well packed away.

    Love the teddy and his name! It's so much better than just "Teddy" haha or "Fluffy" which was my rabbit's name. Sadly, I would have to say my phone is one because I used it ALL THE TIME. Umm can I say my child? haha Thanks for sharing with #StayClassy!

    This questions stumps me and it really shouldn't! We've been on a massive cull of 'stuff' so there's very little physical items that I treasure. I used to have a wonderful selection of Steiff bears donated over the years and some lovely soft toys but they were lost during a move.

    The obvious answer though is the fabled shoebox of memories and our sons' urn as they are all irreplaceable.

      I think those would would be a given.

      We have a cull every year - it's amazing what you find! I thought the Tubblet's first shoes and outfit had got lost in a previous move and we still had them :) So I added them in.

    I have to say photos! I have about 10 albums of my family as children, myself and Lee when we first got together and baby photos of my children. I also have a kangaroo paw brooch from my Granny - that is pretty special too. Sarah #FabFridayPost

      Photos are so precious. We lost a load when we moved and I wish we could replace them

    My old photo albums. I could scan them all and preserve them better, but who has that kind of time? My comic book collection, as dorky as that sounds. Maybe my old Aerosmith concert tee. I was wearing it when I passed my drivers test and when I first *cough cough*. I guess you could call it my "lucky" shirt

    This is such a lovely idea for a post! Amadeus is so cute too. :D My own teddy, a rabbit called Betsy, would have to go on my list. She's slightly worse for wear after many years of being frequently held hostage by my younger brother (she has a big burn on her bum where he held her against the gas fire!), but I love her dearly. #KCACOLS

      Rev T still has his teddy as well. We refused to let the Tubblet any where near either of them. Thank you for the lovely comment

    What fabulous possessions! I love that the teddy is over 50 year old and you still have something that belonged to your mother. I have a ring of my grandmothers that is freaking awesome. I plan to write a blog post about the story behind it. I also have my great grandmothers wedding ring that's over 100 years old. Love this. Thanks for linking with #momsterslink. Hope to see you again in a couple hours ;)

    I love Amadeus! I don't know how I would even narrow this down - I am such a hoarder of things that have sentimental value, & even worse now I have things relating to my children! #PoCoLo

      I suspect that I do the post again in a few months, the list would be slightly different. It's so hard to choose just a few!
