What is your favourite posession? My grandmother gave me a fake gold necklace

[applegrove]

when I was a kid. It may be made our of nickel or something. It has fake gemstones in it and is really old. I think it came from her father's generation, before 1900 - he was a hard rock miner. I love it. So much so i never wear it because I don't want it to be lost. My grandmother was the salt of the earth and my hero growing up.

1. I have some old tools, jewerlry, and some items I made myself.

I would be hard pressed to choose just one!

2. The pocket watch, chain, and knife on the other end my grandfather gave me ~1980.

It still runs just fine. It was already old when he gave it to me. I have all of his other pocket watches now, and several of his clocks, but that one is my favorite.

3. back in 1978 I saved my babysitting money

(I was 17 at the time) and bought a large piece of greenware that my art teacher picked up for me in the next town over and brought to school for me. It was a very large vessel, kind of a tall, fat vase with a narrow top. I cleaned it up and painted it a really pretty green color (my mother loved green) with a tiny brown crackle all through the green and then fired it and gave it to my mother for her birthday. The whole thing, greenware, paint and firing cost me about thirty dollars.

My mother adored it and kept it beside the china hutch in the dining room and my mother and father threw all of their change in it for years.

After my mother's death in 1994 when I was asked if I wanted anything of my mothers, I said I just wanted the vase. My father brought me some other things of hers but he also brought me the vase. It is certainly not the most valuable thing I own, but by far the most precious.

4. My playstation 3!

I'd say, "all of my books," but that's more than one possession.

If I was being nostalgic, my Teddy bear.

Made by my father's grandfather, circa 1870.

7. My Grandfather was a part time deputy Shreff in Quitman Co.MS.

He had a matched set of a Winchester M92 rifle and a Colt New Service revolver. The rifle was built in 1904 and the pistol in 1905. Both were chambered in the 38WCF (38-40) cartridge. Both are in one of my gunsafes, and will be passed down, as a set, to one of my sons.

9. I have many, but one is a ring that my grandfather gave my grandmother when they were

dating; their initials are scratched with a penknife in the inside.

I have a lacquer box that I bought in Russia the first time I went there; it holds a lot of meaning for me.

A rock that my son gave me when he was 3 so I wouldn't get lonely when he grew up and moved away.

A card my daughter made me to make me feel better when I had had a terrible day at work and came home and went right to bed and cried.

I try not to get attached to possessions, but there are some where I can't help it.
