Treasures From Mom's Jewelry Box

The assignment for this month was just what I needed to record some memories about my mother's jewelry.  We made a trip home to Charlottesville, Virginia in March to remove any personal items we wanted to keep before we began the process of clearing Mom's house to put it on the market. It was a really bittersweet time - lots of smiles and laughter, and lots of tears too. These are a few of the items from my mom's jewelry box that have special meaning to me. None of them are particularly valuable, but they are priceless to me, for the memories they hold.

Just a little side note - I was looking for something to embellish the left side of the page to complement the punched border at the bottom of the right side of the page. I finally figured out that I could cut little pieces from the border and they worked great.  Added a few pearls, and viola!
