Memories

Memories. Sweet memories. No. Not my memories. But, the memories of my neighbor, Sylvia. This Midwest tube console radio has been around since the 30's.

Sylvia's grandparents bought it brand new.

She remembers being a little girl and listening to the static and the news voices. She also remembers dancing to the music with her Papa.

Sylvia and her hubby recently moved into an apartment and she told me that she had no family members who would be interested in having this piece of family history.

I've often seen old pieces and wondered about the stories they could tell. This one came with sweet stories and memories. I hate that I can't keep it, but my home is filled with memorabilia from my own family. Maybe knowing about its' origins is what makes it more personal. Ya know?

It's for sale at Primitiques if it happens to call to you.

Happy Wednesday!
