A little box of treats


Found this case - it wouldn't open so sadly I had to force it. It's full of family photos going back to great great grandparents. The case has got my mum's name written in it - I think it was her school bag. The woollen thing? Well that's like a massive knitted sock - I think it might be something to do with Navy Uniform. But why is there only one... and why keep it?

  1. Wow that is soooo exciting, I have to say I am envious of your house and all the unknown stuff it holds... am looking forward to seeing what else you find!

  2. I stand corrected - the case was for keeping dollies in... obviously very well behaved a tiny dollies with few clothes.

  3. oh crikey - I found out what the woollen 'sock' was for. My great grampa George's leg was blown off in WWI. It's his stump cosy!!!
