Love this. I have many things that belonged to my grandmother. What I love the most is a ceramic bowl that she used in her kitchen every day. I have it in my kitchen and keep it on my counter with fruit in it. I always think of it as grandma’s bowl like it is still hers and I just have it at my house. One thing that my grandmother was always able to do for me was provide me with grounding in the face of all the chaos. That bowl seems to carry that grounding energy. Thank you for this post. Fills my heart.
I love how you tied the process of making the object to her life story. That's the sort of symbolism that will stick with whoever inherits the bottle and make it a meaningful memento.

Your memory is so sweet. Thanks for sharing!
Awww, how sweet. I don’t think I ever knew about the perfume spritzer. But, what a special piece to remember her by.

Thank you, Tad. It was my goal to do so and I’m glad to hear that it is resonating.
What a precious keepsake. I think it was no mistake that it "somehow" landed in your care.
