Today I make a break with my cat collection and show you some other things.
This wrinkled lemon pig, believe it or not will be 39 years old on December 6 ! I kept it as souvenir of our wedding in 1969. Besides all plates as a little decoration was such a little pig. I never thought it would keep for such a long time ! But it still stands with other souvenirs in our showcase.
Our son's first walking shoe. As it is the use in Belgium I had put his first shoes in a bronze bath, one for us and one for the grandparents. I remember I had to pay a supplement because his feet were too big, two sizes over a normal baby shoe and that hasn't changed he still has at least two sizes over a normal men shoe.
When I was a little girl, there were no beer bottles and my grandpa loved to drink his beer once he came home from work. So he send me with this beer jug in the local pub where I proudly asked to fill it up to carry it home very carefully.
I loved your show & tell this week! Each thing you shared made me smile!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful memories. Je ne connaissais pas du tout la coutume de la première chaussure! Et ce petit cochon. Il est adorable. J'ai aussi une grande chope de bière mais en verre. Celle de mon grand père je pense que c'est mon oncle qui devait l'avoir. Ma grand mère était originaire de l'Alsace près de la frontière allemande. J'ai retrouvé sa photo avec le costume alsacien quand elle devait avoir 16 ou 17. Je suis contente Pierre va bien. Hier à Auchan j'ai acheté des nems dans le rayon nems au porc et après les avoir mangé en tout petit je lis nems au crabe!
ReplyDeleteMonsieur est allergique au crabe!
Je crois que je rachetterai pas de nems de si tôt pour lui!
I really love how the bronzed shoe turned out! It is really pretty!

I can't believe that lemon pig is 39 years old! Amazing. Love the baby's shoe...people do that here, too, sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI know I was early for Cats on Tuesdays, but I work in the city on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, that's why I do it early...otherwise it wouldn't get done at all.
You have an interesting item there with that 39 year old lemon! That just really made me laugh. I think it will last for another 39 years.
