Tools of the Past...Family Fun Day 27

Tools of the Past

A few posts ago I mentioned I put together toolboxes for my girls and myself.  I used favorite instruments from my mom, pops and father-in-law Bud

                                       I found this cute little box for me and filled it with my fav's

My mom's magnifiers...she always had these around.  Her recipe for Birthday Cake underneath...found during my searches.  I love to she her writing

lots of pliers, cutters and files

Bud had engineers tools, many of those are in storage but see the little box with parts, he built that case.  His boy scout compass and stopwatch.  Trusty measuring tape

                                      Bottles filled with buttons, watch parts and scrabble pieces

      My work desk, my brother said it looked like my mom's (no, he didn't mean it as a compliment!)

                         My father-in-law's Idea sign, he was always a tinker, creative man

                                      Part of my stamp, creative area, the rest is in the closet!!

What tools of the trade do you have always near by?
