Nut case book case?

I have always kept little things to remember the past. I guess you could say I’m a hoarder on a miniature scale. At least it is harnessed within the confines of a book case. 

This started it. I took the picture to ask Mom about this little giraffe. I know it came from her mom’s house but I didn’t know much else. Maybe it was Jack’s. 

I thought y’all might like a look at my treasures. From the first single I every owned ( Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond) to the clear bottle that Mamaw Ellis used as a rolling pin. 

My rubber eraser collection that was amazing at the time. They were relatively expensive and could only be bought at Houck’s or the Playpen. Below is the lovely Christmas pig I selected as a gift for Mamaw Brown. 

This side is more of Ed and my memories. 

Zeroed in on all 3 bouttenieres from the girl’s wedding. 

Check out the WWII game of dad’s. Mom collected the little turtle shell. 

Beach finds. 

Here’s the whole picture. Ask me if you want to know about anything else. And, Mom, how about that giraffe?
