I have a friend who will send me something in the same box I just sent her; we've been doing so for years.<br />so glad you're a keeper...world needs more, I just posted something similar, tied in with people making choices to be so dang busy!Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115005019733614660.post-47223527032813779322011-07-23T12:34:30.793-05:002011-07-23T12:34:30.793-05:00Hi Sue, my family are definitely keepers.

Exccentric of the old days is amusing but people were 'smarter' about living 'green' ahead of their time. My Aunt was a millionaire and saved scraps of foil and everything that might possibly be used again. How exccentric in a very smart way when we consider the waste that goes on today. I loved your photos and stories of the days long ago. It makes us think about being more of a saver of things we just might use again. I never throw tissue paper away and I can tell you it has come in handy many times. I have a bit of my Aunt in me and I am grateful for her sweet keeper life. Smile.<br /><br />Warm hugs, JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496069719875179788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115005019733614660.post-39575494000959169092011-07-22T20:08:56.218-05:002011-07-22T20:08:56.218-05:00What a great post--so cute!

I think it comes from living through the depression. I even find myself cutting up paper from envelopes to make scrap note pads. It must have rubbed off. Plus my mother saved every card, letter, newspaper and recipe clipping she liked. And all our report cards. ~AmesAmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15074479473400202674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115005019733614660.post-77801057175638041092011-07-22T10:10:25.739-05:002011-07-22T10:10:25.739-05:00As a genealogist, I love seeing these kinds of sav...As a genealogist, I love seeing these kinds of saves.
