Grandma

boyfriends' grandma moved
to a smaller home for the elderly
quite a step for her ~ and the family



she gave us four boxes of things that did not fit in her new home
I love that
and will post about the items a couple of times
today is the first: all whites, grey and blue
with a touch of pink-red and green



~ thank you grandma ~ good luck in your new home ~

have a great new week my friends

    A big time for grandma and the family. She must think the world of you to pass some of her lovely belongings to you.

    All those things, sitting in boxes being shuttled and rattled together (lovingly and caringly of course) but still.. displacement. Then out of the box, presented beautifully, they take on a whole new life.. come TO life.

    Your photo's are lovely. So calm. I look forward to the next blogs. Some beautiful pieces there.

    It is so lovely that these objects from Grandma have gone to a home where they will be loved and treasured. That might make her transition to her new home easier. I hope she settles well. As always, beautiful photos Maaike xxx

    Ah that is lovely - I also hope she settles in well. I also have some china of my grandmas that i inherited when she moved into a home - it reminds me of her.
    Great post!

    Hi Maaike,
    Ik net al je posts gelezen die ik had gemist, wat maak je toch leuke dingen om te lezen en naar te kijken! En gefeliciteerd met je hoes, hij is echt mooi! Ik ga ook shirts uit zijn kast halen, goed idee en je make up tasje, ik ben impressed! Ik ben nog niet helemaal beter, maar nog bedankt voor je beterschapswens, nog even dan moet het toch over zijn??
    Groetjes!

    Hej!

    Wat een heerlijke spulletjes hebben Oma's he?
    Ik hoop dat Oma snel haar plekje gaat vinden in haar nieuwe omgeving! Lijkt me niet makkelijk...

    Groetjes San

    Prachtig die vergrijsde tinten en pastels, dat verveelt nooit! Vooral dingen met een familie verhaal maken je huis net dat beetje persoonlijker...
    Groetjes Greta
