Mother's Day Table


I hope you have a nice Mother's Day this Sunday.   This is a special table made with memories.

 The tablecloth is an old dress of mine.  I remember celebrating Mother's Day while wearing it when my daughter was young and my mother was still here.  The painted decorative glasses were a gift from my mother.  They are very fragile and I don't get them out often.

Not expensive but priceless memories.

The chest when it was in the dining room.  You can see the set of glasses here along with the decanter.  The photos were put together by my daughter of my family, it was a school project at the time.

One of our first outings and I am wearing that dress.  How high was your hair in 1992?
