delicious goodies from grammy

As I said before, David and I inherited a lot of Grammy's things yesterday. Here are a few of my favorites:
I love this lobster pot. Inside is a steam plate to steam lobsters, crab and other seafood. It's sectioned off to cook your ingredients separately, like for a seafood stew or something. David's mom, Cindy, said it was a wedding present from the 60's that she had received two of and gave the other to Grammy.













I'm crazy about this rocking chair. It looks amazing in our bedroom. I love how simple and wide the back is. It's pretty old but it still rocks like a gem.
















I like this embroidered table cloth. I like that it is black and white. It has a lot of detail that you can't see very well from this picture but it is really nice. I don't know how often I'll use it, but I like it.









Grammy embroidered these two pillowcases years ago for each of the grandchildren. I love the look of "paper dolls" along the border.











When David's mom said I could have these glasses, I almost jumped for joy. I love them!

















And, of course, the infamous dining table. I have not been able to describe it very well but it looks so beautiful in our house. For how long she's had it, it's pretty amazing that there isn't a scratch to be seen on this solid wood table. As you can see, I really need to update the upholstery fabric.









Since it's fairly easy to recover chair covers, I figured I can really do something trendy and "right now". I'm not worried about it being traditional because I'm not going to have it for a long time. In a couple of years, I can change it to something else to suit the next place we live in. For now, I think I'm pretty set on this fabric:
As those of you who have been to my house know, I have some pictures framed in this same yellow with this same green around the area in ribbon. I just love it. Thanks to whoever suggested Amy Butler fabric.
