Mother/Daughter Time

This week I was priveleged to get to attend Amanda while she shopped for fabric to upholster a wingback chair that my parents had given them. Of course, it took all of an afternoon to peruse each ailse of fabric, around and around back and forth, back and forth. Amanda liked so many but it was because they reminded her of what she had grown up with. " I like it, but it looks like home! I want something different. " Then she'd find something, but it would invaribly be cost preventative. Then we would have to discuss cost differentials and how much more they'd be willing to pay to get what they really want. It was all in all a very enlightening afternoon. In the end, she was able to get her favorite. This pattern is reminicent of the berry picking she and Josh have so enjoyed this past year.
