Day # 43
Today while cleaning my jewelry box and I found this brooch. I had made this brooch as a Christmas gift for Grandma Toop some 38 years ago. Grandpa Toop paid for the kit, and I sat up stairs in my bedroom at the"Big" house working on the tiny stitches on this "Petit Point" during the evening when everyone else was heading off to bed.
Grandpa had cataract surgery, and so he was thrilled to be able to see the tiny stitches on the Rose pattern when completed.
Grandma Toop had a beautiful flower bed filled with Roses outside the "Big" house in Chilliwack, and of course this was her pride and joy. So, I felt this pin was a fitting Christmas gift.
A few years ago, Grandma Toop passed away at the age of 99 years. The family gave me the Rose Petit Point brooch to me. I continue to treasure this and the memories it stirs. One day, I shall pass this on to one of my grand daughters or great grand daughters!
