Best Wedding Gift Ever

Today is our 14th wedding anniversary.

And along the way many of the wedding gifts we received have been broken, lost or left behind.  And yes, most of the broken things were my fault.  I define "butter fingers."

We have replaced towels and sheets.  We have had several bedding sets.  We have broken dishes (again, by "we," I do mean "I").  But there are plenty of things that we still have.

But there is one thing that stands out.  It has moved with us several times.  It is showing it's age.  But I still love it. 

It's the personalized door knocker that my aunt gave us with our name and "Est. 1996" on it.
Growing up my grandparents had one on their home, too.  And seeing it always just reminded me that we were in a good place.  In the family home.  Established, safe, happy, warm.

Seeing it on my own home reminds me of those same things.


And no, no one asked me to write this post and no one is paying me for doing so :).  Of course, if you want to pick up one of these for someone you know, you can do so through Things Remembered.  And yes, that is an affiliate link.
