I&#8217;m 95% sure it&#8217;s her watch. I guess age is catching up to my capacity to remember things, but I&#8217;m pretty sure it is. I&#8217;ve kept it thinking I&#8217;d do something with it. Maybe turn it into necklace. I&#8217;ve seen some cool ideas on Pinterest. But I just can&#8217;t decide, so for now I&#8217;ve hung it on her picture. I guess that&#8217;s better than keeping it in a closet. I wish I had those pearls and earrings because I remember her wearing them a lot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d love to hear what you&#8217;ve done with your heirlooms.
