Kendra sent this message to me on my cell phone today, along with the following picture:

"I started to panic a bit because all of a sudden I couldn't find Charlie while we were shopping at Sam's Club. I was pushing the cart and didn't see him! I started searching everywhere...

...then he said, "Here I am, Mommy."

Tables

Oh my - so many wonderful new tables in our home!

 Here's the steel table set up in the kitchen nook area. I love having a craft/project table of my very own! I can set up a (messy) project, and it's not in the way on the dining room table.

 I know you saw a glimpse of the Holman table in my post about reupholstering the chairs, but I wanted to highlight it again. It is so perfect in this corner of the living room.

 Did you notice our beautiful new Portland Temple drawing on the table? And that black shadow box in the background has dried flowers from Craig's memorial service. Too fragile to mail - next time Mark and I make a trip to Shelton, we'll give it to Linda and Maury.

 The typing table...with the typewriter, of course! Now that we don't have grandchildren living here, I can finally bring it out to enjoy. It's set up in the corner of the dining room. I made a cute little tablecloth for it with cherry print fabric and green rickrack.

And I moved some of the vintage family plates to be an arrangement above the typewriter/typing table.

THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU for all the beautiful furniture! I feel like such a lucky girl. This is the way I have hoped to furnish my home for years. I will love and care for these special pieces for many years. Thank you again for sharing them with Mark and me and our family.
