I have a large shelf unit that Dad built for his collections -- I now use it for fabric and love it. I have the hook thingy that my Mom used to darn my nylons, and all of Grandma's crochet hooks. I have my Mom's nursing scissors (curved tip, bandage scissors), buttons and an old chest that used to be in my bedroom as a child. I also have an embroidered pin cushion that my Mom made when she was on night duty. I smile every time I look at them.
