This week’s challenge from the bloom forum’s fab 15 was old…
This watch was my grandmother’s watch….my mom’s mom. When I was young, my grandma lived with the two of us for a while and she slept in my room while I slept in my mom’s room with her. But I remember my grandma’s nighttime routine. I remember listening to her wind her watch before bed, I remember watching her clean her face and get herself all situated and ready for bed. My cousin’s daughter found this watch along with another of our grandmother’s watches and gave this one to my daughter and kept the other…I have since taken over care of the watch. I must admit that it doesn’t keep great time (not sure if I’m winding it correctly or not) but even if it makes me late, I still love seeing this on my wrist. I’ll give it back to Claire when she’s a bit older and can ensure that it is looked after…but for now, this watch of my grandma’s will be on my wrist.
For more of the {fab 15’s} take on this week’s theme of old, go check out Katy Houston Photographer Christina Anglum. Thanks for taking a peek and I’ll be back with another prompt next Sunday!
