Our first married Christmas weekend in Vermont only had a few slip ups – 2 trips to the ER, a stomach flu that systematically took us down one by one, general malaise – but it was wonderful to have everyone here, and dinner was amazing. And the table? The best present ever, handmade by my brother. It’ll get it’s own post, when the light is decent (When will that be? Summer? Definitely having some seasonal sun-missing here) & I now have a new thrifting quest to find suitable chairs.
Holy cow, your nephew is getting so BIG! Those pears look delicious, and I can’t wait to see more of your table. Sorry to hear about the flu and malaise, though.
I know! I feel like he was just the tiniest grub! http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2227/2131414374_c3514c9354_z.jpg
That table is so seriously beautiful.
Happy New Year and sorry about the holiday flu. No fun! On the flipside, what a gorgeous table and I live those sweet stars. Can’t wait to see more!
Why does your home always look like magic?
2 trips to the ER? Hope everyone is ok now! And I love the mushroom ornaments on your tree. Happy new year!
One for me, one for my brother. Good times!
Oh dear. Hope everyone is feeling better now.
That table is gorgeous!
What a beautiful gift.
I hope you’re all feeling better!
Oh boo for ER trips! Also, that table looks gorgeous. What a great present!
Beautiful pictures! The pears look amazing!
Wow, your brother is very talented; that table is stunning. I like to imagine that it will see many, many years of cheer and joy in that house of yours (fingers crossed).
Sorry to hear you were ill; hope all is better now.
A handmade table ?! Now that is a magickal gift indeed !

Caramel covered pears. YUM. The table is so, so beautiful. What a talented man, your brother. Can’t wait to see/read more about it. Happy 2012.
Oh no, stomach flu! That aside, looks like an absolutely beautiful time, and what a table! Happy new year
What a beautiful table! I was sick the day before New Year’s Eve so I understand the who flu issue!
Oh that table! I’ve been searching for a dining room table for our new place and the prices make me want to stab something (especially since we sold our $99 steal of a vintage dining table when we moved last year).
