What is a hope chest?
My mum called it 'your bottom drawer' but 'hope chest' sounds so much more romantic. A hope chest is a special box or chest where you keep items you are saving for your future life as a wife and mother. China, hand embroidered napkins, knitted baby garments, special ornaments, cross stitch hangings, special items of baby clothing from your own infancy, holiday decorations. The list is endless. What do you have in yours?

mines the back of my wardrobe and various other palces. I have some beautiful wooden candle sticks, two little white lanterns, place mats, a wooden heart, some of my old toys, books i read as a teen which i want my daughters to read and now it has a partially knitted baby romber which i made for elijah (Jo's son) but quickly realised it was the wrong size.
