My Grandmother’s treasures

My abuela and I were very close and I miss here dearly. We spent hours talking, she was a great storyteller and towards the end of her long life, she would forget she had already told me a story, but I would gladly listen to it again and again. She was so beautiful! her lime green eyes sparkled when she smiled or when she was telling a tall tale, but above all she was witty and had a wicked sense of humor. She was a talented crafter, the most amazing knitter (along with my mom) that I’ve seen. She could knit all sorts of things without even looking down while we chatted.
Along with her wonderful stories, over the years she gave me lots of things that belonged to her or to her ancestors, these are heirlooms full of stories that I treasure.
Since I am working on a children book inspired by her childhood stories, over the next months I would like to share some of these treasures.
While I know these are just things they have a huge value to me. These objects and their stories remind me of her.
