This is the front of a small folder in which our darling little Grammie kept things she treasured...a rose drawn by my own Mum when she was six, a letter from Sissy to me, a note from her sister, our Aunt Tillie--each of these things were a window into what was precious in her eyes.
A true treasure trove of loving memories.
Does anyone out there know what, if any, significance there is to the emblem on the ship's flag? Two crossed holly leaves with four dots! Interesting at any rate.
For more fabulous pink Saturday surprises be sure to visit

Isn't that an interesting emblem. Sure beats the pirate skull and bones! Lovely folder.
It is so beautiful, sissie. Grammie certainly left us a treasure trove, didn't she?
Happy Pink Saturday! Very pretty Grace
I wish I could answer your question about the flag, but I don't have an answer for you. Maybe I will go google and see if I can find one. Happy Pink Saturday, Char
HAPPY 2ND PINK SATURDAY BIRTHDAY BETH
YOU AND CLYTIE HAVE SHARED SUCH WONDERFUL TREASURES FROM YOUR GRAMMIE. AN AMAZING WOMAN.
I ASK MY HUSBAND ABOUT THE FLAG....HE SAID THE FLAGS ON THE SHIP WERE TO IDENTIFY FROM A DISTANCE WHO THEY WERE...HE SAID IT COULD BE THE COMPANY THAT OWNED THE SHIP BUT FOR ME TO GOOGLE IT...I LOVE RESEARCH.
HUGS AND BLESSINGS
SIMPLY DEBBIE
Happy, happy, happy Pink Saturday!
Happy Pink Saturday!! Love your pics! Hope to see you at my blog sometime! XX
Love it! Happy Pink Saturday!!
Actually, it is probably the thistle rather than crossed holly leaves. I tried to find holly leaves in heraldry and was not able to but the thistle leave resembles what you may call holly. The four dots would have some significance but I didn't spend the time to look it up. You can look for it under
"Heraldry" and learn more about that.
oh so very pretty!
Sorry for the late PS visit- so many pinks, so little time this long holiday weekend!
Happy belated PS!

This is pretty! And a lovely idea, a folder of everything precious. Thanks so much for visiting - wishing you a very belated Happy Pink Saturday - sorry to be this late, my computer crashed and I've only just got back online.
Happy Pink Saturday, Beth. We have been pinking together for a while now, and I want to thank you for everything you do to make Pink Saturday special. I am so glad you decided to participate.
You always have the most interesting things to share.
