From the Archives Series | Music Box

Our home once belonged to my grandmother on my dad’s side of the family.  When we bought the house in 1981, her music box was still here when we moved in.  It has been sitting in the same spot ever since. 

I have often wondered where it came from and why she kept it?  It is a powder puff music box and still plays a little song when you wind it up.

I have a romantic notion that maybe she kept it because it was a gift from my grandfather, her late husband. It could also have been a gift from one of her children. 

Its story will probably always remain a mystery. It feels like it was left here to tell me something...but I haven’t yet figured out what it is.  

Thank you for reading!
