The Butterfly Box

In the late 90s I worked at Pier 1 Imports and that's where I picked up this little trinket box. I filled it with the few possessions I had of my maternal grandmother, her dear friend, and her brother.



Butterfly brooch, gold necklace watch, silver wristwatch, cufflinks, bill clip, owl sweater clip - I am certain that the wristwatch was Granny Roseanna's as was the pin and sweater clips. 


Aunt Anna's ring

Uncle Tom O'Brien's little book that held his St. Christopher medal.



BONUS! My half of the Best Friend necklace. Amy had the other half. She is clearly the better of us two, as whenever we would visit, Amy always remembered to wear hers.
