I’m fairly certain that my obsession with antiques is a hereditary trait from my grandma. Her house has always been filled with amazing finds that had a rich history, like this amazing bag that was owned by my great grandmother, Eva.

I had seen the bag in my grandma’s house numerous times and had mentioned that I really admired it.  So when my grandparents decided to downsize their house, my grandma thoughtfully packed it up and included it in a shipment of goods destined for me.  She also included a picture of my great grandmother with the bag. Eva is the beauty second from the left.

The fact that my grandma kept the bag and the photo for so many years is amazing to me. It’s such a special feeling to know that I own a piece of my family’s history.
