here's what it probably looked like in the late 1800s:
i thought it was enough to just be the mother of my two girls. but now i get to be their mother AND have this chair. so, yeah. it's even better. i actually think i knew this chair in heaven before i was born.
(thank you, hubs. thank you, thank you.)

Well played, Bim. Well played indeed.

Love that chair and that style too. Good job, Bim, and Happy Mother's Day Krista.
