Best of all, every corner,every decoration, every piece of furniture has a meaning, you and your family are very lucky to have all those priceless memories.
Thank you for sharing them with us. |
My older sister lives closer to home so I would imagine that her and her kids will help out quite a bit. Dad put alot of work into the house..not really decorating but doing all of the other projects mom came up with during the process (hang this, fix that
) I would guess that she'll take down a few of the things to make the house more liveable but then leave the majority of it up for awhile. It's taken so long to decorate it, she might as well enjoy it for a while! Our house is full of memories and really just a hodge-podge of stuff but everything has meaning or as been passed down from somebody.

Thank you for your kind words! She was so relieved last night when it was all over. It's been a very exhausting couple of months. No, they don't give out awards- The whole event is a money maker for a ladies group.

The silver trees were something that she found in an antique shop and just had to have. Both mom and dad remember having one as kids.
