i have 2 recipe boxes. One is for sweet and the other for everything else. I also have my MIL's, and 2nd MIL's recipe boxes along with my maternal grandmother's recipe box. My dad made the recipe box for her and painted it red! My grandmother (same one) also gave me her HS home economics book (from before 1920) with handwritten recipes in it. It's heartwarming to me to see their handwriting and think of them cooking for family and friends.
