I inherited the love for nature with all her beauties from my parents. We used to walk a lot in my childhood in the countryside and every time we discovered a new flower or a little animal. Even a few drops of rain wouldn't stop us. It were good times and I'm still enjoying the little things ;-)
This 400 Aniversary Clock was a gift from my grandfather to my mom when she moved to a new house in 1958. Now I have it in a special place at home.

This is a little Avon stickpin, found in the jewelry box that I inherited from my mom nearly 30 years ago. She collected frogs. This delightful little frog is three dimensional, about the size of a dime and whenever I look at it, it makes me smile and think of her :) Happy Macro Monday!!
something a bit different..:)
Wish you all beautiful, productive and calming weekend, have a great time*
Where there is light, there is hope for the children of tomorrow.
I wish you all a Happy Easter weekend friends!
Cushendun (from Irish Cois Abhann Duinne, meaning 'beside the River Dun') is a small coastal village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It sits off the A2 coast road between Cushendall and Ballycastle. It has a sheltered harbour and lies at the mouth of the River Dun and Glendun, one of the nine Glens of Antrim. The Mull of Kintyre in Scotland is only about 15 miles away across the North Channel and can be seen easily on clear days. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 138 people.
It is part of Causeway Coast and Glens district.
The nearby hamlet of Knocknacarry is located approximately 0.6 miles to the west.
Cushendun village, was designed for Ronald McNeill, the Conservative MP and author later Lord Cushendun in the style of a Cornish village by the architect Clough Williams-Ellis. He is buried in the Church of Ireland graveyard near his nationalist cousin Ada or Ide McNeill, Roger Casement's friend and admirer who died in 1959.
Since 1954 most of the village and the parkland around Glenmona to the north has been owned by the National Trust. Cushendun's picturesque coastal setting in the heart of the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, together with its architectural inheritance, resulted in designation as a Conservation area in 1980.
The nearby caves of Cushendun have been used as backdrop in the series Game of Thrones.

For Macro Monday's topic of the week : Inheritance. HMM !
During the first world war, my grand-mother left her house in a village near Arras, in the north of France with her children. My grand-father was on the battle fields and she went on the roads towards the south to find a safer place, along with hundreds of people. When it was time to come back, they found a family of Belgian people settled in their house. The lady, before leaving, gave my grand-mother her camay earrings as a thank you gift.
Apparently there was only one earring left when my mother inherited it and she had it transformed into a ring that she offered me when I was a teenager. I've worn it ever since. The girl on the camay has lost her nose but I don't mind.
(Picture and story different earnings though)
Few years ago my moms friend moved back to our hometown. I call her auntie. Soon after auntie moved back she found out that her middle school teacher (who then was in her eighties) lived two blocks down the street.
The teacher had never been married and did not have children of her own. She lived alone by herself and had a hired helpers who came during different hours of the day to do the household chores.
Auntie then decided that she would visit her teacher every Sunday rain or shine and spend the day with her. This became their thing and went on for a few years. Three years ago I had the pleasure of meeting this sweet lady in her home. She offered me sweets and snacks and was so happy to have a new visitor. Her eyes sparkled with joy.
The same year one Sunday when auntie was visiting her, the teacher complained of a slight chest pain. The ambulance was called and she was rushed into the emergency room. On the way to the emergency room, the teacher held my auntie's hand and said thank for being there for me. She then took off the diamond earrings that she was wearing handed it over to my auntie and said this is a little token of my appreciation for everything that you have done for me over the years dear, I want you to have it. Later that day she died of an heart attack.
I cant get over the fact that in the midst of the pain and chaos the teacher took the time to thank auntie for her kindness and how much she cherished those Sunday visits.
This is the sweetest story I have ever heard of inheritance.
I have my father-in-law tools and the box he made to keep them in when he started out in work many moons ago

These are my great grandfather´s scissors. I inherited them after my grandmother´s death. Until now they have been in use for more than 100 years. Maybe they are even older. They remind me on my childhood when we visited my grandparents.

My grandmother used to do a lot of needlework. I think it was a main subject at girls' school. Her (brass?) thimble is placed on the detail of an old pillowcase done by her.
As a child I used to be less appreciative of this art and found these pillowcases very scratchy.
Dunham Massey Hall, usually known simply as Dunham Massey, is an English country house in the parish of Dunham Massey in the district of Trafford, near Altrincham, Greater Manchester. It is now a National Trust property, open to the public. During World War I it was the Stamford Military Hospital.
The stately home was designated a Grade One listed-building on 5 March 1959. It has been owned by the National Trust since the death of the 10th and last Earl of Stamford in 1976. Over 340,000 people visited the house in 2014/15, placing it in the ten most popular National Trust houses.
Dunham Massey was built in the early 17th century by the Earls of Warrington, passing to the Earls of Stamford by inheritance; the family still live in part of the house. There were significant alterations, especially internally, at the start of the 20th century. It has historic formal gardens and a deer park. It was formerly in the ancient parish of Bowdon, Cheshire.

This is not an inheritance as such, but it comes close enough. This is the inside page of my old Bible, which my mum gave (well, I begged her for it and few promises later I received it) me in my teens. The inscription is my dad's. He bought it for my mum and noted the date on it...this is was long before I was born.
HMM!
As a child, whenever I visited my grandmother, the first thing I did was to play this old music box.
I'm still fascinated by the sound it makes when turning the handle.
I inherited this ring from my mother, and she inherited it from her aunt. The meaning of the symbols is "Love, Fidelity, Death", but unfortunatly I don't know if the ring has a story.
For those found in Christ Jesus there is an immeasurable inheritance that awaits us. We will be with Him in all of His glory; in perfect communion and fellowship without the corruptiveness of sin. We will dine at the wedding feast as we cherish eternal life that will surpass our best moments here on Earth. It will be beyond our wildest dream. God is the very essence of all things good and His presence will fill all of Heaven and His goodness will be evident to all. O how my soul longs for that great and glorious day!

After my Dad passed away 7 years ago I inherited a wallet of family documents, mainly birth marriage and death certificates. The photo shows my grandparents' marriage certificate dated 30 Jan 1915. I've compiled our family tree and hopefully one day I will pass it on to my son to carry it on.

My special inheritance is only a day old. As we were about to get into the car after our meal with are special friends, Maureen came back over to me and told me there was a little box in the bag with my Easter Egg. Maureen's Mother died in December and this was a little keepsake for me to remember her by. As it was so dark in the car park I couldn't look at it until I got home. And yes it was this beautiful butterfly brooch :-)
My grandmother lived the gospel every day. Her life was hard but her faith was strong. She left us all with an amazing example of trusting God in all things. I can't think of a better inheritance!
