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.
