I'd love to see your grandfather's table. It will last forever!<br /><br />What a sensible practice of "getting rid of much that fails to bring joy." It's a sure way of determining what should be parted with. I'll have to adopt the standard!Debra Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553596042707601518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286641315310259749.post-15029688183376585452017-05-26T06:23:55.921-04:002017-05-26T06:23:55.921-04:00I have always enjoyed the art of Manet, and your p...I have always enjoyed the art of Manet, and your picture is a great choice for your decor. Over the years I have had a few prints of his work too. James the butler is so cute, and useful too. Never seen one of those before! We have quite a large house, although the rooms are fairly small in scale - it is built for a family. Now there are only two of us here, we tend to let things accumulate, a bad habit, and I have been on a campaign this year to get rid of much that fails to bring joy, with a hope of replacing with more carefully chosen pieces in the future. Rather too many pieces have a history as they come from both our parents' homes. I like a table which my grandfather made in the 1930s, extremely solid, and we use it every day. One day we must downsize - that will be a huge undertaking :)Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.com
