Without further ado, here is my show.
My dad made this box in 1968. He must have been all of thirteen years old. It is hard to imagine my father as a thirteen year old. It isn;t hard to imagine him doing pottery. I think he would be very content to sit in mounds of clay all day.
Some how, this passed on to me and I adore it. It's one of my most cherished possesions. It hold inside the toilet paper and stone "engagement ring" made for me at my wedding shower.
Here is daddy's little boy initials. Sometimes I just like to trace my fingers over that carving.

What a really special treasure to have! I think these kinds are treasures are so wonderful. :)
Oh wow, that's such a special treasure. The carving of you fathe's initials as a youngster is so priceless. I always smile whenever hearing stories about my father as a mischievous young boy and it's so cool that you have a tangible item to go along with your thoughts. Really cool!
Sweet. How special that your dad made it and you have his initials and date he created it. Enjoy!
That is really neat. I think the only thing I have of my Dad's when he was young is a pair of long underwear. =) I will have to blog about those one time. I wore them and my son wore them. They are still in great shape. They button of the front and lace up the back.
What a special treasure!

So special! I can relate a little.
I have a bunny night light that my grandmother painted and it has her initials on the bottom. Now I use it for a night light for my children.
What a wonderful treasure, so special!
