from times past

I’ve been shooting more interiors lately, and I just love finding old things that have meaning in people’s homes.  Which is what prompted me to take out my camera in my own home – doesn’t happen too often – and here’s what I found…

This little silver box belonged to my grandfather… I think it was on the bedroom dresser in my grandparents’ room

Isn’t it pretty? Lined in red velvet…

And most importantly… it’s contents.  Their last name started with a U – cuff links just happen to upside down here.  I love that he kept the Goldwater button & I’m pretty sure the little watch face was my great grandmothers.

This gem wasn’t his, although he did have a passion for photography, this was a gift to me from a friend when I started pursuing photography.  I believe it came from Ebay – what a treasure it is.

What do you have floating around your house?
