Its been a while, but I had this idea.....

...and would like to try it.

2 years ago to the week, my Grandmother passed away. 

She was a delight. 

Just a character whom everyone loved.

Since she has passed, her spirit was very strong and stayed with my family for many months. 

More recently, I have had a very strong feeling of her presence.

She had a few family albums she had put together with photos of her family, and other family relics. 

I have had those albums since she passed.

 I have wanted to do something with all of this family history. 

The idea that came to me was to document my exploration of her life and family on this blog. 

I am doing this mostly for me; to help with the loss her such a wonderful woman. 

However, If you do decide to take this Journey with me- please enjoy.

Every week I will be spotlighting a particular item (or 'trinket' if you will) I have found to be interesting, giving a little back ground information about where I found it, where YOU can find it, and possibly a short history lesson.

New Idea's are Brewing...

Hello and Welcome...

After blogging for almost a year on my sister-site 'Doublet' - I decided to split off and start my own blog for the things I found interesting. 

My hope for the future of Tinker/Trinkets is to start a online antique/vintage products store to share my love for rummaging and collecting.

I will be opening a Etsy Store in the near future, so please keep a eye and an ear out for the official Etsy Store Release!

Thanks for the Support in the future!
