My daughter is only 2, now! My mother sent us some cookie cutters in shapes I already had. So instead of giving them away or selling them, I put them in a little shoebox and thus was begun Bluebonnet's hope chest! I've added a pincushion and a copy of one of the Little House books (the new editions are an affront to the senses, so I'm looking in thrift stores for older ones for her), and I'm thinking of other things to add over time.Wenonah4thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875282879902158315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-75451185866632181422008-10-20T08:39:00.000-05:002008-10-20T08:39:00.000-05:00I found this post just in time.

I remember asking my mom about it when I was little, but we were very poor and from a different culture, so it was not something she had thought of for me. In our family we do "shower parties" instead. <BR/><BR/>When I have a daughter, I plan to have a hope chest for her. The idea of collecting beautiful treasures for her to bring into her marital home is wonderful!<BR/><BR/>http://penelopesoasis.blogspot.com/Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718128591448417498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-19688875185747328342008-10-15T20:53:00.000-05:002008-10-15T20:53:00.000-05:00I wish I could do a girl's hope chest!

My mother, aunts, and godmother created a hopechest for me, and gave it to me after college graduation when I moved out on my own.

My Momma has her Momma's and her own. All of us girl's were given a Lane Cedar Chest for graduation. You can get a little plack engraved to put inside.
