Not a day goes by I don't miss them. But when I look at their things that I was able to keep (and that they loved) it makes me happy. I see you have two German Shephards. We had a beautiful german, German Shephard, Dusty, for 7 years. We lost him to bone cancer over 20 years ago. He was the nicest dog. We have been married 35 years as of May 25th. I loved your lovely pink Birthday pillow too.<br /><br />I hope to start a blog soon. I have drafted one up but haven't had the nerve to publish it yet.<br /><br />Teacup Lady (Sandy)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658720088249679531.post-61477321570731147282009-05-29T12:26:01.856-04:002009-05-29T12:26:01.856-04:00Your mom's crystal looks so pretty all together li...Your mom's crystal looks so pretty all together like that!

OMG, your mom did have beautiful pieces just by looking at the photos. I can't even imagine the other ones you gave away. My mom also had many crystals items and I split them up with my sister after her passing. I am so happy you kept the pieces you did, because they do look good mixed with a variety of styles. The chandelier is a amazing piece and it would even look good in your stylish living room too. <br /><br />Have a Wonderful Day-Sandy~Romantique Inspirations~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05460262354481955991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658720088249679531.post-56108178149914588892009-05-28T19:57:40.053-04:002009-05-28T19:57:40.053-04:00**gasp** - this chandelier is BEAUTIFUL!

Glad you finally found the style that you love (I too love cottage style but don't have a lot of it in my home). And it is extra nice that you can love your mom's chandy every day & remember her.
