For Macro Mondays 'Keepsake' theme - my father died very unexpectedly in 2009 and these are the last few letters he wrote to me. They'd be of no value to anyone else but completely precious to me.
For Macro Mondays - Glass
A 25 mm glass marble that had belonged to my Grandfather. I have 12 in the set.
On July 25, 1953, New York City’s subway fare was raised to 15 cents. Instead of making subway riders have three nickels each time, the city introduced the subway token, which became a symbol of the city until it was phased out for the MetroCard in 2003. In 1986, the “bullseye” token was introduced, with a circle of silver-colored metal in the middle of the brass token. When it was introduced, subway fare was $1. HMM!
my daughter gave me soon after she married (24 years ago). I've always loved it but seldom wear it because I'm afraid I might break it's fragile tail...
Macro Mondays theme 'Keepsake'. At the beginning 1980s I rode everywhere on my 500cc Honda and carried my Olympus Trip 35 with me. Not the most stunning images given that I went on to things like a Bronica SQA, but it reliably produced a record of my travels. Eventually film seemed to be dead, along with much maligned bikes like my Honda CX500... both that model of bike and Olympus Trip 35s now fetch good money. I acquired 2 of the little Trips and I am keeping one as a reminder of what always seems to me like a better time... all I need now is a tidy example of one of Honda's more quirky yet successful machines.
This necklace, unfortunately broken, belonged to my great grandmother. I never knew her as she lived in Leeds, U.K.
She lived a life like the tv show Downtown Abbey
I think they are moonstones.

I had a celebration with 16 lady friends when I recently celebrated another birthday with an '0' at the end.
All women were from different stages and aspects of my life. I have a friend whom I have been friends with since school who made my wedding dress. She brought me this special keepsake. it's good to see she hasn't lost her touch!

For "Macro Mondays" ; theme : "Keepsake".
Made by my grandmother when she was 9 years old. I don’t know how out of her 14 grandchildren I ended up getting to keep this treasure. Perhaps because of her five sons my dad was the only one still alive and healthy when she died at age 100.
Rolling east across Indiana, M576 knocks down the now removed signals at East End Butlerville. As I'm sure many are aware, these signals were sold to a local scrapyard upon their removal from service, leading to a frenzy of fans trying to to get their hands on a head. When all was said and done, I was lucky enough to walk away with the WAS from East End Butlerville. Having a signal I shot on so many occasions is a great keepsake from all the time I spent covering the Indiana Sub, and I'm thrilled to have my hands on this piece.

The painted blown egg in front was a present given by my brother and sister-in-law. The egg on the left was blown and painted by my daughter many years ago.

We discovered our wedding napkins? in a keepsake box and a stained glass yellow heart made by our sophomore high school, son made for Mother's Day, 31 years later, After 55 years, the juxtapositions are interesting..
A gift to my grandmother, it's well over a hundred years old. For Macro Monday - Oldest Object You Can Find. HMM!
Macro Mondays: Keepsake
I was very close to my paternal grandmother and great-grandmother. Every year, they would send me a cute birthday card in which they would tell me about their life, their garden, their cats... They were the most priceless gifts, and I have kept each and everyone of them preciously.
