As we sift through the stuff that we haven’t seen in two years, we cherish the memories from the past and treasure the things that surround the hub of home.

This chandelier is one of the very first things we received together as a couple, A wedding gift from my parents. We are quite partial and attached to this light that lights our lives.

Much cleaning and care went into hanging this light that hangs over our breakfast bar table.

Breakfast bar – The table and chairs were purchased while we lived in South Korea. Many special memories have been made ‘round this set.

Another angle – Taken from upstairs

My final piece of pottery (standing 19 ½ “ tall) made back in TX. Although this is a fairly recent memory, it’s a fond one as it sports a glaze (rich chocolate) I tried for the first and only time. I hope to use this glaze again one day.

The detail up-close

A beauty collected from our trip to China.

And another taken last evening highlighting the pretty reflection from the light.

The lamps that illuminate the built-ins are blue and white pottery purchased while we lived in Korea.

Found a pumpkin I received from my mother-in-law – had to fill it with candy, not just any candy…the kind that brings the fondest memories this time of year.

And tomorrow we will be having our first dinner guests…so better get busy getting this place ready for guests…More coming soon.
