We might have saved more, but after Iliff died, my grandmother became even more of a hoarder. My sister & I were teenagers when we helped my parents clean out the house. After awhile, we just started chucking stuff. There might have been more diaries. I do have some of my paternal grandmother's journals though. They are very different from Irene's diary.Tisha Doltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13275324414144730288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229471584810701319.post-59976743207717631332014-03-19T01:02:21.734-04:002014-03-19T01:02:21.734-04:00AAAH!

When I was a kid, we moved into an old grocer's shop (still with all the old Victorian fixtures and fittings) and it turned out to have an old dairy-goods store in the garden! It had tube after tube of old cardboard milk bottle tops (circular with a pop-out hole in the middle - ideal for making pom-poms!). We left most of them when we moved away and I so wish I'd kept some. It's pretty awesome that your family have not only recorded their lives but kept the ephemera of the day - it brings their history to life.Shroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14149714951033411609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229471584810701319.post-14381901116718662562014-03-14T20:15:31.053-04:002014-03-14T20:15:31.053-04:00They are pretty cool!They are pretty cool!Tisha Doltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13275324414144730288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229471584810701319.post-24758675341477761272014-03-14T20:15:12.464-04:002014-03-14T20:15:12.464-04:00Irene was a pretty good speller except for a few q...Irene was a pretty good speller except for a few quirky ones. But when she misspells, it's consistently misspelled.<br /><br />I've looked around & these are the only history related ones I have seen so far. I'll have to start checking places for these milk tabs. Maybe I can find some local dairies.Tisha Doltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13275324414144730288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229471584810701319.post-10188571233226607432014-03-14T14:09:15.299-04:002014-03-14T14:09:15.299-04:00They are great!

Your milk bottle tops are great. I always buy them up when I see them. Milk tops really were the pop ad's of the previous century. fairyrockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955508856112972006noreply@blogger.com
