Question of the Day, Sunday the 29th of October, 2023

[Mia6]

Hello and Happy Sunday!!

What is your most prized possession(s)? (other than our babies)
not your most expensive but something that means a lot

a solid oak antique mirror I purchased from an antique mall in Medina.

What about you?

 

[bobkater]

Seeing that I spend the best part of the day in front of the computer, it will have to be first choice. Likewise for my cat...

 

[Gunther4ever]

A celtic cross that belonged to my grandparents

 

[Winchester]

My great-grandmother's caned rocking chair. It needs to be re-caned and re-finished.

 

[denice]

A handmade quilt the top made by my grandmother. My mother's engagement and wedding ring. I have three grown children and I have thought about passing those things on. I have heard so many stories about things like these causing vicious fights among heirs. I will hopefully pass them on before I pass. I guess I will split up my mother's bridal set, engagement ring to one and wedding ring to another.

 

[neely]

My father's Kodak camera.

A dresser that I was given by a boyfriend‘s mother back in the 70’s when I was college. I didn’t have anything to store my clothes in at that point and they gave me this tall five drawer dresser painted cherry red that the mom no longer needed. Not pretty but very functional. About twenty years later I finally stripped off the red paint and found beautiful mahogany underneath and the markings on the back of the local company that made it some time before 1910. It is still beautiful, the drawers still glide easily regardless of humidity and it will probably last another 100 years.

A rosary which my aunt had and gave me for Confirmation. It is not expensive, It is a really pretty turquoise. When I was small I always looked at it and touched it.. My aunt noticed... and remembered it..
And a beat up small bookcase my dad helped make... along with the 2 pictures I have of my parents, when they were in their 20's...

My MUSE hoodie. It's like the one they wear in their videos and the only place/time you could get it was at the concert - wasn't cheap. Not sold in the merch shop.
I told my son I want to be cremated in it.

 

[nurseangel]

I can't choose just one. I have my mom's wedding rings, which she gave me a few years before she was gone. I have an antique telephone table that my dad bought at an auction before I was born. He told me that when he bought it, he never dreamed that he would have a daughter that would grow up to want it. I hold those words with me, because they provide a different perspective, something I wouldn't have thought of in that way.

 

[maggiedemi]

My cell phone I guess. I don't like random clutter, I value my items that I need & use everyday. My SUV too.

 

[Kat0121]

DH and my wedding rings.

DH's record collection from when he was a kid. He thought that his parents had gotten rid of it but they did not. He dad brought it to him when they sold their house in NY. It includes a copy of Kiss Destroyer. It was the first thing he ever bought with his own money. I am holding onto the collection and it will go to DD when she's ready for it.

My stuffed dog Henry. I got him when I was 8. I'm 53 now. He knows all my secrets and will never tell a soul.

Besides my 2 kitty boys and my baby girl Nera(my doggo) my most prized possession is a cookbook my grandmother gave me about 2 weeks before she passed away in 2020 a week before Christmas. It’s my prized possession cause of the note she wrote. I always told her I would make her dinner from it cause she knew I loved cooking, I sadly never got to do that. I have other things of hers too that I hold dear to me.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Probably because it has all of my information, pictures, and other data it would be my computer and external hard drives.

 

[allmykitties]

I have an old printed-on-silk map of part of the Pacific from my grandfather's days in WWII. He flew 23 missions with the US Army Air Force.

 

[aliceneko]

My camera. I wouldn’t be without it and it’s probably the most expensive item I own personally too. I’m an avid amateur photographer and always take my camera whenever I leave the house, just incase there’s something to capture.

 

[lizzie]

I have a maple shaker style dresser that was a gift to my Mom from her mother and she gave it to me after I got married,an oval oak mirror that was a gift from Mom,several cat books and cookbooks that were birthday and Christmas gifts from my Mom over the years.

 

[JavierG]

A small blue stuffed doll, a horse. When my family left Cuba many many years ago, we had to leave all behind, family, possessions, everything. I was two years old and this toy was the only thing that came with me from that previous life.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Maybe my dollhouse… I have several things that belonged to my grandparents but the dollhouse was made by them and their gift to me.
