A Treasured Possession

August 7, 2009 by Tracey 14 Comments

I don’t tend to get too sentimental over many possessions. I treasure many of our books and certainly cards and other items that my husband, the girls or other close family members have given me. Outside of that, one of the things I do love most in our home is this picture.

There are three portraits: myself in the middle and one of each of the girls on the sides. My mother had saved the dress I was wearing in this portrait, taken when I was about 18-months-old, so that I was able to have my girls’ pictures taken in the same dress around the same age. This is one of those things I would want to grab should we ever have to vacate the house in an emergency!

I am hooked on this special picture; see what others are hooked on at Hooked on Fridays. Also visit Show and Tell Friday to view treasures other people are sharing.

    What a great idea and a treasure for sure. I wish I would have thought to save one of my girls dresses.

    What a brilliant idea. It made me tear up a little bit.

    What a precious picture! How neat that your girls had a chance to wear the same dress you wore as a baby.

    I LOVE that!!! My mom has several beautiful dresses that my sister and I wore growing up (our grandmother made them), but she keeps *forgetting* to give them to me for my girls. You have a great tradition! 🙂 Thank you so much for the visit!

    PS. LOVE the BabyWise books (on your right toolbar). They make such a difference!

    That is lovely! I just bought a frame with 3 openings like that from IKEA and was planning on putting my son in the middle with hubby and I as babies on either side.

    🙂

    This is by far the best show and tell…with all the sentimental value in your post…it's heart warming!!!

    I am wondering if you'd like to stop by and view my seashell collection for Show n Tell today. I hope you can stop by if you have some time!! Have a great weekend.

    That's so wonderful. My Mil has a coat that was her g-mom's and every great granddaughter had her pic taken in it. But, we have 2 sons and didn't get to wear it:)

    Please stop by The Old Parsonage anytime, I love company.

    Enjoy!
