Heirlooms

A charming tradition...isn't it? I have always thought heirlooms to be these very special made, unique objects that are passed down from one generation to the next. Many of them tend to be pieces of jewelry....for women especially. But my heirloom is a coin. Just a stack of simple old coins that were given to me with love from my grandmother. She collected coins of different types just like i do now...and that was a hobby that just the two of us shared in our family. I don't know if it can technically be called a heirloom....but I treasure it as such.
