Yesterday as I was going through a metal box that had belonged to my husband's mother, I found a treasure that was folded up at the bottom. You just never know what you will find and I certainly didn't expect this to be at the bottom of the box with old bank records and deeds.
Here's the box. One more note. If you'll notice the name of the baking company from Buffalo - it's HALL Baking Company. Funny, because after Dorothy moved to San Diego she married Gordon Hall.

And what was the treasure I found?

I just love finding items like this. I’m going to frame this one and hang it in my office with other special documents.
Happy hunting and I hope you too find lots of precious keepsakes,
Michigan Girl

I have my Grandma's Confirmation scroll, similar to that one. She had kept it in her Hope Chest along with her Hall Monitor pin while in middle school. :)
ReplyDeleteTracy - would love to see it. If you have a picture maybe you could send it to me or show me on Sunday?
