I thought I would show ya'll my very favorite piece of furniture. It was a gift from my Mom, and I was so surprised when she offered it to me because she loved it so much. I can remember when it was delivered she got busy arranging and rearranging little pretties to place inside. Ummm, I wonder where I got that gene? I have it in the living room, and just like Mom, I am always moving things around on the shelves!
On the top shelf I have a couple of old Hardy Boy books that belonged to the Mister. The copyright on them is 1935 and they belonged to his grandfather. There are a total of six in the collection. Next to the books with a cute little bird is our initial. You know every southern house MUST have this somewhere. Next to that is a pretty candlestick.
On the next shelf I have some faux books with some cute little pumpkins. The pumpkins came from the Dollar Tree and I still can't believe how nice they look. Next to the pumpkins is an old vase that belonged to my Grandma - another piece that I treasure. And finally a small decorative box.
On the last shelf is "the golden egg", at least everytime I look at that's what I think. Then an elephant vase and finally some more Hardy Boy books with a pumpkin.
I hope you enjoyed the tour of my favorite piece of furniture. Have a great day!
I will be joining the following parties:
What a beautiful secretary. Thanks for stopping by Cedar Hill. I am a new follower.
ReplyDeleteOh it is such a gorgeous piece. I love it and you have it displayed so beautifully. I want one for the guest bedroom. Hope I can find one when the time comes to redo it. Yours is totally stunning. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeletebeautiful secretary! And doubly so because it was a gift from your mom. Vanna
ReplyDeleteI love bold colors, too. Thanks for visiting by blog. You home is lovely.

Your secretary is a treasure...even more so it being your mother's. The gifts we have passed down to us are so much more special...like the secretary and the books. I hope that the dollar tree still had a few pumpkins...those are so cute. I want them too. Trish

I can see why this is your favorite. What a treasure. Thanks for sharing with my Open House Party!
ReplyDeleteYour secretary is lovely and dressed to perfection. It is even more special because your Mom gave it to you. I have one that will be my daughter's one day (not TOO soon, I hope!). Fabulous post.
