Family Treasures

Happy Wednesday Friends~As you know, the second reason we went out to California this last couple of weeks was to pick up some family heirlooms. The quilt I shared yesterday is such an incredible heirloom and one I will cherish forever. This table and lamp sat in my hubby's childhood home, until the house sold last May. I have always loved both the inlaid table and lamp and although they don't date back as far as the quilt, they are treasures none the less. I guess since an item is an antique when it is 25 yrs older or older, these would be considered antiques. Of course, that says that we seniors are antiques as well.

 

 

I can tell you that the inlay on the table is beautiful and that the lamp is handpainted. Hubby and I love antiques but don't decorate with just antiques; we are more a mix of traditional and antiques. We still haven't decided where the table will end up, but for now it works perfectly where it is-at least until Christmas, when we put our tree up.
I hope you have a great day; we will be glued to the t.v. this afternoon watching the final race of the America's Cup Sailing race in San Francisco.  Go USA!
Joy to you.
