I have these odd things of my grandmothers.
Her dime bank, and this, her coin purse.
She was a simple woman and the simple items
I have from her are precious memories.
Pentalic Aqua Journal, Platinum Carbon pen,
and Sennelier, Holbein and Daniel Smith watercolors.

My grandmother had a very similar coin purse. Nicely done, Kate.

Funny what we are pleased with. I’m happy with this in that it looks like the worn leather!

Lovely! I also have my great grandmother’s coun purse. My Mom used to tell me how she went to town every Saturday with her coins to shop. Sweet memories.

That is the truth. During the depression they were lucky; my grandfather has a job with the city and they had acreage to grow food.
