While I don't remember when mom got the flowers or the buffet accent piece, I still do remember where it was in our house in Garland....I think I remember having to dust it most of all. :( But she would keep her "good" napkins in it that were used only on Thanksgiving when both sets of grandparents would visit. There used to be a box below it with the silverware that I actually don't ever remember using. The flowers were on another buffet she had in our living room. Joe Paul would not remember any of this being he was about 7 when we moved from that home. Not that any of this is relevant to your amazing artistic ability because it truly is stunning, but it was nice to actually "see" these items and remember them from the past. I guess its something that's always there and I never pay much attention to it until attention is put on it. You know what I mean?
