SHOW & TELL '08 #8 - Fruit bowl

Friday is Show & Tell...take that picture(s), write your post, go here and put your name on Mr. Linky and then enjoy reading and viewing the wonderful Show & Tell items of others.

I purchased this bowl for my mother in 1977. Isn't it beautiful. I loved the varigated coloring of the glass.

This fruit is 52 years old. It was purchase for me in 1956 when I was 19 years old. I had just moved into my first home and my mother and I went to a lumber store and saw this fruit. I really liked it and she bought it for me for my new home. I had a bunch of red/purple grapes too but somewhere along the years they have disappeared. When my children were little one of them stuck a Chiquita Banana sticker on the banana. It was long ago removed!!!

These grapes belonged to my Mother-In-Love. She had them hanging on an old horseshoe in her kitchen. I still have the horseshoe, too, but separated them!! Can't remember the year I got these but it's been many years ago.

These 3 little gords were brought to us by Mickey's brother, Bob, and his wife, Sally, in 1985 when they came to visit us from Virginia when we lived in Albuquerque. They had stopped by the road and found them. I loved them and have kept them ever since.

Here is the complete Fruit Bowl as it sits in my home. Made up of all these special pieces, from special people in our lives and with one of my little angels sitting on the edge.

Thanks for letting me once again share one of my cherished items of remembrances.
