1 The decorating is all finished , the pictures are back on the walls and now the trinkets go back. As a child I always loved my Granny’s powder bowl with loose powder and a fluffy peachy powder-puff inside. She used to puff the powder on my cheeks and laugh and laugh when I sneezed!
Granny’s powder glass
2 I keep little treasures in it rather than powder. This tiny silver watering can was also my Granny’s. When it is held up to the light, six little black and white pictures of Morecambe can be seen.

3 It is a truly unpleasant day out there today. The storm glass is high and we have lit the wood burner. A cosy evening calls.
PS Father Christmas is on the case re my camera. This tricky to use one will suffice until then…….

Silver watering is so cute 🙂 and the green glass jar is also so beautiful. These things are not beautiful because of there appearance, but because of the memories you have attached with them. These memories make them precious.

I know what you mean. I have a couple of Mum’s powder compacts which always seemed so personal and precious to her. I must go and seek them out! 🙂

What a wonderful series of pictures. My grandmother also had a powder bowl, and she would lift off the lid–hers had tiny ivory roses on top–dip in the puff and powder my nose. We’d both laugh and hug, and your powder bowl picture brought that all back. She was also an avid gardener and dragged around a huge tin watering can to care for the fragile growing plants in the summer. The tiny charm brought all those memories flooding back as well.
Thank you for a delightful post.

I’m so glad I brought all those memories back for you. Those powder bowls were all very pretty weren’t they and or Grannies had the same sense of fun! That’s lovely.
Thank you very much for calling in and taking the time to share those lovely memories with me. 🙂
