Oh, I loved this trip through your memories and the special place your grandmother held in your life.
As did the lobster pin.
The little kid version of me would have been all over that pin, just for the weirdness of it alone. I would probably still find it fascinating.
The descriptions of your feelings (the mysterious allure of the pin, the certainty of looking guilty, the fear of getting caught!) were so fresh and compelling. I was right there with you, listening for that creak on the stair. :D
