Do you remember these sweet little hope chests? The high schools in our area gave one to each senior girl upon graduation. I received a Lane hope chest as did my older girls ~ Abbey graduates this year and we’ll see if the tradition continues.

Oh I just saw this and just posted on my hope chest…Oh my! I love yours! The comments on my post have been so precious and to read each persons own story is just great. I love yours and that you gave one to each of your girls…I only have one daughter and I am on the hunt for one now.
My mom has one. She keeps a really old doll in hers. I always wanted one, but never got one. You should see my senior high school photo from 1976. Then again, maybe not.
Wow, what a lovely gift for your graduation. You look so serious in your graduation photo and that hairstyle must have taken an age to blow dry! Thanks for sharing.
Oh cute I loved seeing your high school pictures!!! What a nice little chest Thanks for sharing ~Blessings Heather
I have one of these! My mom gave it to me, it came with her real hope chest when she got it right out of high school.
Your high school pictures are just beautiful!

Oh yes! I remember those. I had one – got it in the 60's. I don't remember what happened to it – I know I had it for many years later. You have not changed.
I do remember those little ceder chests! I always wanted one of the big hope chests, but they were way more than anyone I knew would pay! They used to give the little ones out when I was in high school (yes!the groovey '70's)but my girls never received one when they graduated.
By the way ~ you haven't changed at all! ;~}
Thanks for the memories!
