For Melody's Tuesday Treasure I have chosen a locket and tiny book that has been handed down through my family. The locket was handmade by my Great-great-grandfather for his wife. Her initials have been engraved on the front - 'LEB'.
The little book is 'The Morning & Evening Monitor - containing a text from Holy Scripture and a verse of Sacred Poetry for every morning and evening of the year'.
It belonged to my Great-great-grandfather's sister. His daughter was my great-grandmother, and her daughter was my paternal grandmother. I have two daughters to hand them down to.

Those are so very special... it's amazing to have something your ancestors held in their own hands...
