I love my pots & pans. Belgique! It is so much fun to say! And even after almost 18 years, they look almost new. Several years ago my Mom came across a great sale... and picked up several pots and pans for herself. Including two sizes that I did not have! After admiring them greatly, I hinted at wanting them... since she had more than one of each! Eventually, she did give me the smaller pot, and it made me smile. But what I really wanted was the 3.5 quart pan. And she had two. Oh you can do so much more with a 3.5 quart than a 2! On many occasions I have tried to sneak one out of her house (most recently Thanksgiving!)... but I am not such a great sneaker... the laughter gives me away every time!
It was the last gift I opened at her house on Christmas Eve... and it may just be a piece of kitchen cookware... but it was given with love. I honestly am still surprised, and overcome that she parted with it... because she probably used it more than I will. But oh, I love it. And I love that she loves me... so much that she would give me something of hers that she loves.
A mother's love for her daughter is the gift I unwrap today... love that came in pretty paper just to make me smile.

To give something that she loved - what a truly precious gift from your mom! I would have cried too. :)

Those are the BEST gifts!
My mom has a huge Dutch oven that I've told her countless times that I want...I haven't tried to sneak it out of her house...YET. :D
I am smiling, giggling and sharing in your joy!
You mom sounds lovely. And I want to come over and have you cook me dinner with your fancy pans! :)
I love this little love note about your mom. I love my mom, too.
What an amazing gift. I love it when Christmas is about really thinking about the person we love. Sometimes it is $5.00, sometimes it is $50, but it is the thought that matters. This year my 4 year old gave my husband oreos, my 7 year old painted him a plaque and my 9 year old gave him deodorant. I thought he was going to cry. They put so much thought into those presents and it made Christmas perfect.
thanks a great story, dawn--super sweet. I love it.
thnak you for not having "in my daughter's eyes" playing in the background. xoxox
your mom demonstrated a REAL mother's love --- self-less-ness! great post!!
The most precious and treasured gifts are often those that have less to do with the object itself than the thought that went into giving it. How sweet of your mom!
Ahhhh!
and you ARE RIGHT, I can't believe I cooked for so long without a3.5!
what a wonderful gift! given with love!
It is so pretty. Pretty because I can see the love it was given with! I love Moms!
