I have one actual reminder of my beloved Grandmother in my home. I have her Glory box. It is not a valuable antique or an object of great design merit, it is a simple and no doubt cheap at the time plywood and cedar box with a drawer inside the top, decorated with a little Art Deco design.

I was very fortunate that I was allowed to have it with her blessing while she was still alive and it took a trip to the country to visit an Aunt who was in possession of it at the time. It was in her back Sun room and had not been taken much care of, in fact her Siamese Cats had even urinated on it. Suffice to say I bundled it into the back of my little Hatchback and took it home for suitable fumigation and cleaning. It took a fair bit of cleaning to dispel the obvious but I managed it. Not in pristine condition but I hesitate to remove the 'life' from it.
