Shopping haul from the other day! Jewel necklaces, kitty ears and teeny kitty studs from Diva, bangles from Lovisa, and the silver circle necklace and skull earrings are from sportsgirl. I bought everything on sale!

Sushi! I love sushi! My favourite is cooked tuna and avocado. I miss this place in Adelaide that made pumpkin sushi. SO GOOD!

A couple of webcam pictures. Kitty ears & kitty love!

Tonka keeps stealing Emily’s beds! This is when I spent a few days at #thedarlingden, he’d either be cuddled up next to Frodo, watching the backyard from the kitchen door, or in Emily’s bed!

Whilst cleaning out one of my closets (which was my nans), we stumbled across some old things. This was my great-grandfathers certificate of honourable discharge from WWI. It’s stamped and dated 1919!

These are old paintings of my Great Grandfather & his brother, from back around that time. They are rather large, about 50cm in length, so amazing to see!

    As a major history nerd, that certificate has me positively DROOLING! What an amazing piece.

    Mum showed me some other things too, she has birth certificates of her parents, marriage certificates, some things dated back to the 1890s, it was amazing!

    I am a history lover too. Wow, what beautiful things to find! I think we all have to be our own historians to a certain extent and leave things to pass down like diaries, photographs etc. We just have to rely on the next generation to take care of them. Amazing finds!

    Those pictures of your ancestors are amazing, how lucky for you to be able to have them. Photos were such treasures back then, we take them for granted now, firing off photos into the ether every few minutes!

    That is so nice…Be sure to hang onto all those things with everything you’ve got…My family saved nothing (they’re big on the whole “purging” thing, I seem to be the only momento-hoarder), so we have no neat historical pieces like that or things to make one feel more connected to one’s ancestors.
