It really isn’t just a box….<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"WP_20151209_16_07_36_Pro\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My daughter gave this to me last week. Mom’s jewelry box. I last saw it when we were cleaning out my parents house to get it ready to sell. At\u00a0the time I only quickly glanced inside and put it in the box of things to save. When I opened it again last week a wave of memories came flooding back. As a young girl I loved playing in this box and the others Mom had in her bedroom. I tried on the earrings, necklaces and bracelets and as well as her clothes. But it was the jewelry that gave me the most pleasure. Wearing it and parading around the house in it\u00a0made me feel\u00a0like a queen.<\/p>\n

I got every piece out of “the box” and was immediately taken back to a time and place where Mom had worn the item I now held in my hand. As I gently felt each one I could also feel Mom beside me. It was as if she was right there with me, telling me the stories I was remembering so vividly. She had several jewelry boxes and a ton of jewelry, both “real” and costume in each and every one of them. Mom had\u00a0diamonds and pearls and every other kind of gemstone that my dad had given her for birthdays and Christmas. She loved all of her jewelry equally but it is\u00a0the costume pieces that are etched in my mind and when I think of her I picture her wearing them.<\/p>\n

I think the earrings are what I remember most of all. She wore the largest earrings of any one I ever knew. Mom never got her ears pierced so she wore clip earrings. She looked great in them. Always matching them to the outfit she chose to wear that day. I can picture this like it was yesterday and so do others evidently. To this day, I have people come up to me and tell me what they remember most about my mom was her large earrings.\u00a0Whenever I look at pictures of her, in every single one of them she has her “large earrings” on.\u00a0. She did have a knack of picking just the right ones and she could totally pull off the look! It was her trademark and she wore it well.<\/p>\n

The next day I shared the jewelry box with my grand daughter and she just loved looking at all of the pieces of beautiful jewelry. She picked them up with such care and held them while I told her stories that went along with each one. I just knew she would love this as much as me… and she did! \u00a0I gave her a piece to remember her great grandma. And I know she will treasure it forever, just as I do.<\/p>\n

I miss my Mom so much but I love that just opening a “box” can give you such pleasure and so many wonderful memories. I love these memories of her and I’d be willing to bet she has her earrings on right now!<\/p>\n

If you look closely in the picture above, you can see Mom’s “large earrings”…<\/p>\n

Did someone you know have a trademark item? Do you?<\/p>\n
