gifts from my grandparents

My grandmother recently gave me this beautiful pot and plant (thanks Grandma!). It reminded me that all my most favorite things in my apartment were gifts or hand-me-downs from one of my grandparents....like this brass bar cart, once belonging to my great-grandmother.

Or this vase, one of two given to my grandparents as a wedding gift (my sister has the other one).

And this coffee table and rug, found in near perfect condition in my grandfathers garage.

Oh! And this orange serving tray, which is awesome in its groovy-ness.
