Good for you!<BR/><BR/>My father just passed away, and I am saving all of the letters I wrote him that he saved and gave back to me before he passed. I was thinking the other day that if I ever do decide to get rid of the letters that I sent him years ago, it won't change my connection to him at all. That was refreshing.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875496721000801632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9297210.post-14376778860982842092008-07-17T10:34:00.000-07:002008-07-17T10:34:00.000-07:00That really is a fantastic piece.

One reminds me of them just as well as keeping the entire collection would have and it's much, much easier to keep one bulldog in my living room than 150.Sarah Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753180768919416208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9297210.post-48678921825156569042008-07-16T10:37:00.000-07:002008-07-16T10:37:00.000-07:00Looks a 100% better than the fake wood stuff sold ...Looks a 100% better than the fake wood stuff sold at IKEA!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9297210.post-17978445678997861732008-07-15T14:01:00.000-07:002008-07-15T14:01:00.000-07:00I love the buffet.

I didn't know how to ask for it with grace, so I said, "Can I have this when you don't want it anymore?" :) To this day, I still make an inquiry once in a while: "I'd love to have this, when you don't want it anymore." My mom laughs. It's now kind of an inside joke between us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9297210.post-62904605217793648172008-07-15T10:22:00.000-07:002008-07-15T10:22:00.000-07:00Both my parents were gone by the time I was 23, an...Both my parents were gone by the time I was 23, and I made myself completely responsible for keeping all the furnishings of the house. Some, I obviously needed--tables have their use and I like a bed. Most of it, I dragged around (okay, my dear friends HELPED me drag around) and stored for years. YEARS.<BR/><BR/>It took a long time, to let go of the stuff. Slowly but surely I did. There is still some that I use, because money doesn't grow on trees.<BR/><BR/>At the point that I got rid of my mother's living room furniture, I really felt lighter. <BR/><BR/>It took 15 years, but, then no one should deal with closing an estate when they are only 23.<BR/><BR/>I do like the buffet, tooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9297210.post-23259629684457403362008-07-15T10:20:00.000-07:002008-07-15T10:20:00.000-07:00The buffet is awesome; we've been looking for some...The buffet is awesome; we've been looking for something similar because all our furniture is teak scandanavian contemporary and most stores around here have old people furniture. We were in Sweden in 2000 and were fairly close to having one shipped over but it would have taken $1000 in shipping and customs alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
