Adornments
Inside this gallery are adornments. What these adornments have in common is that you can wear them or hang them. You can tell some of these objects are really special. A lot of these adornments have been passed down from generation to generation.
Pin Cushion Heart
London
It's my artifact.
Based on the tag stating, "The Romantic English Woman," this heart is from London, given to my mother from my grandmother. It was used as a pin cushion until about 2004, when we put it in a special box full of my mother's things.
My father gave the pin cushion to me to keep and I hung it on my bed. It was significant because it was the only thing I got from the grandmother on my mother's side, Grandma Cathy. I never knew her, so I don't even know if you spell her name with a C or a K! We had kept everything in the box, but this was really special!
Ten Commandments Necklace

My Sister
It was given to my sister on her Bat Mitzvah from my grandma's sister Joy Bergman.

Ceramic Egg

My mom bought it for me as a present in China.
This artifact reminds me of my mom when she travels. This artifact also shows most of the items on the seder plate.
Heart Necklace

My Mom
This necklace was my great-great grandma's. Before she died she gave my grandma the necklace. Then my grandma gave it to my mom. It was passed down through generations.
It's significant to my family because it was my great-great grandma's and she was special to us.
