Some of my valued treasures, Gini, are along the same lines as those of yours. My grandmother gave me her cookbooks. I don't even spend much time looking at the preprinted recipes, it is her handwritten notes that I love, and there are many. I have told Scott that above all, I would love to have a great place to display her books from 50+ years ago.

Thanks for starting this thread. One never knows when they will hit the "nerve" of someone.....you hit mine. Thank you.
