Just today...




Four of my sweet littles are playing legos on the dining room table....



Also in my dining room stands this...



Which is a new addition our family! My sweet friend, who needed to move it out of her home, gave it to me. I think it is beautiful. I love the wavy glass look, the latches, the tongue and groove oak, the chipped paint inside, the solidness of it!... She was told that it is from the 1860ish time period, and that seems to be confirmed by any who've seen it. I'd been looking for a china hutch, but in my home, there isn't much wall space. We have an abundance of windows - for which we are grateful - but that makes finding such pieces of furninture a bit of a challenge. Amazingly, this hutch fit perfectly! Thank you dear friend!

  9. What a beautiful hutch! So glad it fits.

    Legos are a wonderful invention, aren't they? My kids have all loved them growing up, and my twins still play with them for hours. I'm sure my vacuum has "eaten" more than a few over the years though :-)
    Have a glorious Easter!
    Blessings,
    Marcia

  11. Love the legoss; I miss having my kids at the age of playing with legos. We still have a pretty hefty size bucket waiting for the grandkids to get big enough to play with them. Also love the new hutch. Wow is that something. Love that old wavy glass as well. Such a treasure. I am very happy for you.

    Hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter.
    Much Love,
    Pam
