My Mum gave me this family heirloom when I was in Manchester over the last few days. This was originally my great grandfather's watch chain and my grandmother made it into a bracelet. It is wonderfully beautiful and it shows that recycling and re-purposing must be in my blood!

A Family Heirloom Repurposed
My Mum gave me this family heirloom when I was in Manchester over the last few days. This was originally my great grandfather's watch chain and my grandmother made it into a bracelet. It is wonderfully beautiful and it shows that recycling and re-purposing must be in my blood!
How gorgeous... what a beautiful tradition to carry on, yes?
ReplyDeleteI love the expression repurposing. The bracelet is beautiful.......and I'm glad you had fun in our hometown :)
ReplyDeleteWow! What a coincidence. I have my great-grandfather's watch chain as a bracelet too! It looks really similar to yours. The clasp broke so I haven't work it in ages. I need to get it fixed! Cool.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect idea. I love those ideas. A way to remember your loved ones each time you see it. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat is so lovely... I hope you had a good time in your hometown and what a tradition to carry on.
