The Assignment:
What is the quirkiest thing in your home that you will never give away?
I think that the quirkiest thing in my home is a lemon pig, which will be 40 years old on Dec 6 this year. It was part of the table decoration at our wedding in 1969.
For such an old lemon it still looks very good, not anymore like a table decoration of course but it stands in my vitrine, as souvenir !
and here we are !
Never thought I could meet a 40-yo lemon!! what a meaningful souvenir, indeed.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's a wonderful shot of the Gattinos!
That lemon looks in amazing condition for 40 years old.
ReplyDeleteYou haven't changed much, Gattina, just a little older like all of us. Lovely wedding photo of you both.
Oh I definitely think you should pull this out and use it for your 50th celebration!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is one died up lemon, would never think that it would last that long. Great photo of the happy couple, may your love continue.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhhhhhh, how precious a memory. I'd be just like YOU...I'd keep it forever!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Fun Monday dear Gattina.
What a sweet memento. And I love the picture of you and Mr. Gattino! What a handsome couple!! And you were a beautiful bride! (still are!)
ReplyDeleteAmazing that's it's still around. Love the wedding photo, almost 40 years, fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute! I think you have shown that little pig before - haven't you? You are just an ol' romantic softy - you know that? And that photo is darling! YOUNG LOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! A 40 year old lemon fits the bill as quirky for sure! I am surprised it did not succumb to mold by now!
ReplyDeleteOh! What a lovely souvenir from a wonderful day! And that's a beautiful wedding picture too :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't think I'm crazy, Gattina, but I can smell lemon... Ha! You and Gattino make a very handsome couple!
ReplyDeletethe best!
ReplyDeleteWish I'd saved something from my wedding.
(Besides my wonderful husband, I mean)
That's a cute idea! I love your lemon pig! He has survived the years nicely!
ReplyDeleteI did not know what to think when you posted your comment! I had no idea a lemon could last so long!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of the happy couple by the way!
Very interesting... does the lemon at a wedding mean something in particular?
ReplyDeletethat is so cute! popped over from Lisa's Chaos.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what that lemon looks like on the inside. Great wedding pic.
ReplyDeleteNow aren't you and Mr. Gattino the handsome and happy couple! I'm intrigued by your wedding bouquet--what was it made of? Very unusual style. As to the lemon pig--citrus can be preserved for quite some time by rolling in spices and letting air dry. But 40 years! I'm sure you are so happy that in the midst of all the wedding flurry you had the sense to "rescue" this pig. BTW, what's the story behind using a pig for your wedding decoration?
ReplyDeleteOh very cute! The lemon and you two as well. Beautiful wedding photo. Im surprised the lemon has not shriveled into nothing by now! Wow!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! Now that's quirky!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bride and handsome groom. The lemon pig ain't bad either.
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful in your wedding photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful souvenir and it still looks very cute. Your wedding photo is lovely.
ReplyDeleteoh that's so sweet, ;) you and Mr. Gattino look like a celebrity couple with that beautiful picture ;)you are such a lovely couple! what a lemon! quite priceless ;)
ReplyDeleteHeck yea, that is quirky! I would have keep it too though. What a wonderful momento. :)
