Oh, dang.....you win, you made me cry tonight. I, too, lost my grandmother...20 yrs ago. And I miss her every day. Every time I sit at the sewing machine I think of her. I wish I had some of the stuff she had worked with --- Oh - I DO have her scissors....they were made in Germany and they're still the best scissors I've ever had.
You are so lucky -- what a neat mother to give you all that!!!
