Ok today I've got something special to show you ladies... When I was little I loved to sit at this little bench/stool at our grandparents house', that stood right next to the fireplace.... When they both passed away we needed to clean the house. I got to pick out some stuff I really wanted to have from them....There were two things; a stuffed animal my grandma always kept and this little bench. I love the old look of this and it's standing right next to my heating system. So when I'm cold I love to sit on it, get warm & comfy and think back to those good old days!
As you can see it's really old and I'm so careful with it, the seat is already a little loose. I'd rather not let anyone sit on it and just let is stand there. I'm just too scared it's going to break, cause I want to keep this thing forever!

That is a beautiful story, and it is so nice. I love old stuff. When my great grandmother passed I have some of her old things that remind me of her too. TFS such a personal story!
That bench is gorgeous and such a great family heirloom! Love your story and that makes it even more special!
Wanted to comment, Petra, since you said you were curious. Supposedly my great, great grandmother (on my mom's side) was either Dutch or her parents were. That is one of the things on my list is to do genealogy research. Thanks for looking at my blog!

My uncle died in November and as they delete his home,I want to have an old bread box...it was the box of his mother (mother of my grandma)and it´s so old.I love this box!
OH WOW this makes me all teary eyed. I am so happy for you that you have this! My Mother passed away and didn't have a will. Her husband wont let me have anything from her. He even has her in a URN and I have no where to visit her:(
Cherish your stool always!
