Some Goodies

I was visiting my grandmother some days ago and she mentioned that she had a table she wanted to give away. At first my uncle was going to take it, and then my dad, but in the end, neither one of them took it. I thought it had a lot of potential so I brought it home.
It looked a bit bare though, so on my quick trip to Michigan yesterday, I popped into an antique mall and found a lovely hand embroidered table scarf. It had a few age spots, but then again so does the table.
I think it looks rather smashing with the vase of flowers I bought and arranged for my mom for Mother’s Day. She was down here for a few days and I wanted to spruce up her room a bit.
Fresh stock and gerbera daisies, an antique hand embroidered dresser scarf, and an approximately seventy year old table that my grandfather built in his high school shop class. I think it fits the room beautifully.
It’s beautiful! And I can’t see the age spots on the tablecloth.
It’s charming….all three parts…the table, the cloth, and the flowers. It’s so nice when everything pulls together just right.
Wow! that was some high school shop class! My kids are all welders, so I don’t get cool wood stuff. But I do have “the engine hoist from hell” in my shed. My oldest made it in shop. So next time I need to pull an engine from a car, I’m all set!
Absolutely fantastic.
I LOVE gerbera daisies. They brighten ANY room. Great table too, a nice addition! Hope all is well.
