Why is Old Sacred?

Old cars
Old homes
Old dogs
Old dishes
Old furniture
Old jewelry
Old roses
Old aprons
Old books
Old photographs
Old documents
Old cats
Old clothes
Old buildings
Old tractors
Old rugs
Old chests
Old ships
Old radios
Old paintings
Old clocks
Old hands
Old skin
Old gray hair
Old rocking chairs
Old people
Old age.
Sacred.


One of two very, very old bowls that belonged to my MIL's grandmother. Well over 100 years old. Thus, OLD and was always special to my MIL. Now special to us. If that is all you have left from your great grandmother, then it is sacred, don't you think?

I agree, anything we have left is very special!

What lovely soft colours. I have a plate that belonged to my great-grandmother (although it was made in the 40s) and it is very special to me.
