When we moved into our rental cabin on Lake Huron in the middle of August, we found a little "welcome basket" in the middle of the circular dining/card/puzzle table. One of the items in the basket was a box of matches. I took some photos, remembering that there was some kind of "matches thread" I'd seen years ago on The Porch. I found the thread, and here are my vacation match photos.
One side of the matchbox had a map of the Les Cheneaux Islands. I'll post 2 pics of that side, one with knife and matchbox closed and one with both knife and matchbox open:
The other side of the matchbox gave contact info about the place we stayed. And what a fortuitous coincidence, the matchbox, my knife bolster, and the table all had an anchor image on them!! Anchors Aweigh, my boys!
After we returned home at the end of August, I noticed that we had a decorative matchbox holder on the tank of our toilet in the main floor bathroom, so I took a photo of that with a Schrade 293 trapper that Bob

had generously sent me while we were away.

They died and their kids sold the camp.

A little over a year ago, I took a suit to the cleaner to get it cleaned and pressed for our daughter's wedding. I discovered a bunch of "souvenirs" when I emptied the pockets of the suit. One was this matchbook from the wedding reception after my dad remarried a little more than a year after my mom died in 1988. I paired the "sentimental" matchbook with a "sentimental" knife that was the last knife my late father-in-law had.
