38/365

FINALLY a place to sit and have a meal properly.The Breakfast room. There's a set of mugs on the left lower middle shelf, made for Aunt Evelyn, Grandpa (Will), and Grandma (Edith), after my mom had moved out (so no mug for her!).
The tea set on the lower right was my grandma's special chintz china, Made in England, circa 1900.
There used to be a sewing machine over on the left (which is now in the garage and probably will be moved back, but I'd also love to try and get it working again).
I'd found a great picture grandma, taken by Evelyn, sitting at it and mending something, looking very annoyed that Evelyn had interrupted her just to take a photo.
Now of course I can't find those photos, as they're somewhere in a bag in the garage.
I cannot WAIT to get this place properly SORTED!
