Yes that's right time is running out according to Auntie Olives' watch .My beautiful watch that I wear everyday was given to my great Aunt Olive in 1915 by her suitor before he left for war .
Sadly he never returned but she continued to wear this lovely piece . It has since been passed on to me me and I think I'd be lost without it .
Anyway after my little bit of family history I thought I'd let you know that the watch is ticking on my stitchery pattern giveaway . Time to get a move on .
Then again maybe you don't like my design ,but you gotta love my watch !
Winner will be drawn Sunday night Aussie time .

ReplyDeleteWhat a great heirloom! I have my grandmother's watch. My first ever flight was down to Tas for her funeral at 3 weeks old. I can't remember whether Dad gave the watch to me or I simply claimed it before my half-sister (who never cared for Nana even though she got to know her) could. It's the most beautiful thing, and is actually very similar to my mum's engagement ring. I'll post about it with a picture one day!
