Diatom Chair

Look what came in the mail while the Elder Assistant was getting herself married. I am intimidated by the instructions.

The other modern chairs want to play (Bouloum chair by pinchofpepper, phantom chair, wedding favor)

Is there a Bay Area self help group for putting these chairs together, will provide alcohol... C

Where are My Assistant and her Husband going for their Honeymoon? Tha Bahamas of course. Irene will have moved on by then. Thank you to all my dear guest bloggers who made the month of August a joy! CM

Daphne saves the day...

The Elder Assistant and the Younger Assistant of my blog have a life outside My realitty. Congrats on their Reality!

               Thanks Daphne for helping me on this big day!Especially with this chic outfit.

You were BIG helping keep the Bride calm on the way to the
church.

                             Pewf! We were almost late!

"Daphne", said Colette "did you bring any Kleenex?" Of course she did.

                                   Yay! On to the reception!

Colette and Daphne arrive at the Shaw House in D.C.

 to visit Colette's D.C relatives the Shaws. To Colette who lives in the MH1 their Dutch Gambrel house seems rather formal.

 Oh dear, they have lovely Tynietoy knife boxes, but no dining room table. Nice chairs though and Chandelier.

                     Tynietoy Grandfather clock in the front hall.

The Library. Tynietoy marble fireplace contemporary map in the style of Tynietoy, bookcase, and oh my two drink sets. Hmmm.

Tynietoy pencilpost bed with original mattress, dresser and brick fireplace. Someone needs to hang pictures.

Breakfast room with Lynnfield set.

Sweet little Baby who lives there, seems to need a nursery set. Tynietoy small chair. In fact the upstairs needs finishing. Well
Colette and Daphne enjoyed their stay even though the Shaw's were rather stiff. It is the Happy Shaw house!

Little Brides are popping up all over!!!

This bridal pair made by Erna Meyer is from the collection of blogger Rebecca of Rebecca's Collections. They were made in the 1950's.

  
This set of Rebecca's also by Erna Meyer is from the 1970's. Hmmm I think I am going to have to dig up my own wedding pictures from the 1970's...

And this one is 18th century style. Be sure to go
to http://Rebeccascollections.blogspot.com/ and see her pictures of the beautiful and spunky brides from her family! Thank you Rebecca, you're a doll! C & Co.

SHH I'm not really blogging...!

I am supposed to be taking time off, but it is hard! I am just slipping a little pic in of a glass chandelier I got last time Shale and I went to Pennsylvania. It is so easy to blog wherever you are from Flickr... mob (mother of the bride)
