My mom and I went through some more things and found some more great stuff!  Click on the pictures to see them bigger and in more detail.

My late grandfather’s (navy) pilot wings and watch.  My mom said he was very particular about wearing only “flat” watches… you can’t tell from this picture but the face of his watch is so thin!

My mom had a handful of these detailed golden bangles in her collection, she didn’t say much about them but I love these two in particular.

We found my Mom and Dad’s high school rings; they went to Cheshire High (in Connecticut) and North Kingstown High (in Rhode Island) respectively.

My mom had a ‘treasure chest’ (her words, not mine) with these keys in it.  The cool old Preston key is to a trunk in the basement that is full of her clothes from the 60s and 70s… aka the holy grail of treasures.  Unfortunately neither of us have been able to locate the trunk in the basement, I’m still holding onto hope that my dad didn’t get rid of it when our basement flooded a few years ago.

I found both of these lockets in the treasure chest, too.  I love old lockets!  The heart one has a lot of teeth marks on it which leads my mom to believe it’s actually belongs to her friend from when we lived in Tennessee who used to bite her locket out of nervous habit.

This ship necklace is my favorite! It’s no surprise as I love all things nautical.  It was a gift to my mom when either She or my Dad (I can’t remember) won a trip to Cape Cod from work.  So rad!
