About Family Heirlooms
An heirloom needs no appraisal to hold its value, the chipped cameo, the folded letters tied with ribbon, the quilt stitched from Sunday dresses all carry a weight that no price tag could measure. Passed from hand to hand across generations, these objects become the physical memory of a family: who they were, what they loved, what they wanted remembered. A cedar chest at the foot of the bed or a brooch pinned to a daughter's coat on her wedding day, the gesture of giving is itself part of the inheritance.
