In an effort to document my family treasures which cannot be scanned in, I am publishing this series of pictures as part of the Treasure Chest Thursday theme at Geneabloggers.\u00c2\u00a0 Someday in the future, I hope to shed some light on these treasures for my family who might inherit them.\u00c2\u00a0 What were they for?\u00c2\u00a0 Who did they come from? Why were they considered treasures?\u00c2\u00a0 Let’s find out.<\/p>\n

Jessica Cross Stitch Magnet<\/p><\/div>\n

This family treasure is a little cross stitch with my name on it in red thread.\u00c2\u00a0 My mother made this piece as part of a massive collection of cross stitch magnets and items she created and sold at our schools for extra income.\u00c2\u00a0 She created the cross stitch names and cut them out.\u00c2\u00a0 She then glued each name on a piece of cardboard cut to size, and glued a magnet on the back.\u00c2\u00a0 Then she finished off the piece by gluing pre-made lace around the name.\u00c2\u00a0 This magnet is about 2 1\/2 inches wide.<\/p>\n

My mother made hundreds of these magnets and put them up for sale in the craft fairs.\u00c2\u00a0 I remember standing at the school during the sale, looking at her display of names in all different colors and laces.\u00c2\u00a0 I can’t recall how much she was selling them for, but it couldn’t have been more than $1 for each one.\u00c2\u00a0 It was probably less than that.<\/p>\n

I treasure this magnet.\u00c2\u00a0 It is rapidly falling apart due to age.\u00c2\u00a0 The lace is yellowing and falling off the piece.\u00c2\u00a0 The only thing that is not coming apart is the thread in the name, and the magnet is thankfully still securely attached on the back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
