Ode to my Grandmothers

Check out my "new" couch.  Sherry in Nashville did an excellent job making me new covers for our couch.  We acquired the couch when it failed to sell at the Gualala Arts Center rummage sale a year or two ago.  My husband called and said, "Can I buy a couch?"  Sight unseen I became the proud owner of this corner couch.  Now that it has a new face lift I am in LOVE with it.  Every time I look at it I like it more and more.  Note the flower painting in the corner done my oh-so-talented 14 year old niece, Emma.  She is amazing!  You might also recognize some other Harmony Art fabrics in the room.

The print I used for the couch covers is our organic cotton twill named Evelyn & Janette after my two grandmothers.  The fun thing is that our other couch (in our living room) is a hand-me-down from my grandmother Janette (photo below).  It has never been recovered.  It's in fairly good shape for being at least 40 years old!  I am happy to have earned the nickname Hand-me-down Harm.  I like items with history much better than mass produced.

MB and Teresa noticed the E & J couch in my last post. Can you spot any other Harmony Art fabrics in the top picture?

I am not familiar with Haeckel but I had fun doing a google search on him. Cool stuff! The print was another Gualala Art's find. It was what I picked from the "Art of the Wall" event: http://www.gualalaarts.org/Events/2010-05ArtOffTheWall.html The signature is impossible to read but it is dated 1970. I love it!

I am sure Emma would LOVE to paint your walls.

It all looks great, there is of course, the 40 Ginkos tablecloth, the lime napkins, and the Let it Grow TV cover, I think that "covers" it all. Oh, I'm so punny! :) hehehehe
