This past Sunday we were privileged to take my Mom and Dad back to Amanda and Josh's for the last time. Mom had given them a nice wingback chair to have recovered to take with them when they move. It had taken Amanda and I hours to pick out the new fabric. I posted about it a few weeks ago.
When the chair was finished a couple of weeks ago the kids were thrilled with the final result!
So Mom and Dad were not only anxious to go to Blacksburg to see the kids one last time before they move, but also to see the chair.
Even though there were packing boxes sitting all around that chair still looked great! But I detect a pensive attitude in Mom and Dad as they considered that that was probably the last time they'd ever visit in Amanda and Josh's home~
It was really difficult saying goodbye to Blacksburg after all the wonderful memories there during college, the wedding, and seeing the kids build their love nest!
The moving company picked up their things this past Wednesday.
For more FFFF visit Deborah at Pictures, Pots, and Pens!
The chair turned out great! Moving is never easy because you're leaving behing so many memories, but it opens to the door to making new ones. I wish them the very best on this new chapter in their lives! I'm visiting from Deborah's blog...Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteThe upholstery on the chair looks really great and from what I can tell, it's comfortable too!

Your parents look to be very young at heart...and spiffy dressers! I hope they hold many happy memories of that time and place.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing!

Change is tough, isn't it? On the bright side, the chair looks great!

It's so hard when the kids grow up and move away. My dd is living in England right now. She's sick with strep throat, having to keep working, and struggling with taking college classes at night. I want to go over there and baby her. I know she has good support, but as her mother, I feel this need to be there nurturing her when she's sick. I CAN pray, though.
ReplyDeleteThat chair is gorgeous!
The chair turned out beautifully. All the best to Josh and Amanda as they build their new love nest.
