When my grandparents moved from their house to their condo they decided to give so many of their things to the family. Well, Nathan and I have managed to furnish our townhouse with many of the amazing pieces that my grandparents no longer wanted. This picture is for them...my Grandma wanted to throw this silver pitcher away! Can you believe it? It's one of my favorite things to see when I enter our house. I love to fill it with fresh flowers from the Ann Arbor Farmer's Market. The table is actually 1/2 of a full table that my Grandpa cut to make into end tables for a guest room in their old house. Because of Sampson we've moved the normal pieces from the bottom of this entry table, but the other half of the table serves as the entry table to our back door as well! Along with the side tables and pitcher we "inherited" two sofa chairs, a polar bear statue (I LOVE IT!), a small wicker basket (I can remember cracking the nuts that were in it at my grandparents old house), platters and servings pieces galore, an apple peeler (used every year for homemade applesauce...yum!) and many other items. We even have a buffet and coffee table that were originally my Great-Grandma and Grandpa Line's....and I even managed to snag my Great Grandma Line's beautiful china!
I love new things just as much as the next girl, but there's something special about walking into your house when it's filled with special items from your family! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa...this blogs for you! :)
