You can never have enough...

Oh Im so pleased for you OHH.

Yes a new heartbeat to pamper.. And something familiar for her to help her settle in too..

Any news on the suitcases? Man there's some A/H people around these days.

Woohoo just sold my camphor chest. It came to me as a peace offering in a way. My parents got my sister one. It was huge and I loved sitting with her as she went through it every time she got something new for it.
I never Qualified.. so when we saw one up here when Mum had moved in she got it for me. It's too small to hold much at all.. as in it holds DVDs but not a lot else.
And  the only thing I use it for is to stand the Christmas Tree on.. So I decided to sell it as it will only take up space when I move into a smaller place.
The buyers are in Manukau so if they aren't in any hurry I've offered to take it with me on the 16th.

I may buy a special piece of jewelry, as I never qualified for a bracelet or signet ring like my Sister did either.. lol.. Then again I have a lot of jewelry that I dont wear. lol

But I will use it wiseley

My camphorwood chest was my 21st birthday gift from my parents. It is very old, brass bound and on feet. My Father asked his friend Tommy Ah Chee to locate one for him and sure enough he found one in his mother's house and passed it on to my Dad, along with the warning from her that if I ever wanted to start a family, to have the chest removed from under my roof until conception was assured. We took that with a grain of salt, and I loved it too much to ever part with it, but... when I finally did conceive, after all the experts had given up on me, I did that under a completely different roof, much to everyone's surprise (and my shock!). So maybe there was some truth to Tommy's mother's advice.

Oh, and it is still here, right beside me. Must be over two hundred years old now, and I love it dearly.

Wow that sounds wonderful OHH..

This is probably a mass produced one. It has been picked up, a member of the family lives a couple of roads away lol.. And it is going to have a makeover so Ive asked if they would send me photos when done. I certainly dont have any emotions tied to it. It was brought as a peace offering. 

I have one of these red notes.. I dont remember the last time I saw or had one of those lol.
