Finished Settee

 

Katie refinished the settee(went into labor and Poppa got to help finish it up).
100 year old set from Sears and Roebuck.
Original cost of $20.00; for a 5 piece set--two chairs/settee and two foot stools.
The settee is now in Maicey's bedroom. That is recycling.

 

The settee and chair came with Linda's grandmother and grandfather from New York City, after they had immigrated to the USA from Sweden (Carl and Natalie Swenson). We had the set for 43 years and now Katie is going to refinish the wood and put new upholstery on them. They will be used in Maicey's bedroom. With a new baby coming Maicey will be getting a trundle bed and the crib will move to the new babies room. The settee and chair will be cute in Maicey's big girl room.

SPAM....LipBalm???

I actually remember when it was dangerous to eat SPAM...not because of the fat and animal parts made up SPAM but because you had to open the metal can with a key(the key was welded onto the bottom of the can). The key wound around the top and you ended up with a strip of sharp metal, that wasn't enough....then the edge of the can was like a razor blade. After you finally got it open then you had to get the SPAM out and then Mom would slice it up and fry it in the black cast iron skillet.

Maicey spent the weekend with her cousin Izzy in Battle Ground Washington. This was her first horseback ride. She had a great time and wanted to ride again and again.
