My SIL James Joins Couch Week

You’ve heard of Shark Week. Well it’s been Couch Week in Columbus and Pittsburgh.

Pool Couch

Love when the family thinks of me. You know all this abandoned furniture has stories we’ll never hear.

Seen as we headed to the parking garage after Charlie’s play.

So many lines and shapes.

Age 18+? Not a problem

One of the boxes of LEGOs Charlie received for his 11th birthday on Thursday was this project-Mona Lisa. The appropriate age printed on the box of the 1,503 pieces was age 18+!

His dad is going to get a wall anchor and hang it up tomorrow.

It took four hours to complete the wall art

Redundant

I was a passenger, on our way to downtown Columbus, Ohio. James was driving.

Another double discard!

Must be couch season.

Happy 11th Birthday Charlie

Happy Birthday Charlie. I’m looking forward to being with you on your special day! June 25th Love FF

Look What James Found on Indianola Ave

My Son-in-Law is the guest blogger today.

It was exciting to receive his text with this photo.

Every abandoned couch and chair has a story to tell. My first thought this was it was at the University. Not!

Thanks for seeing this discard and thinking of me, James.
Xoxo your MIL Ruth

If you’ve been with me since the beginning of this blog (almost six years) you’ve probably seen one of my favorite posts from 2009.  Shot in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.  Fiestaware bowl.

LIFE IS A FIESTAWARE BOWL OF QUEEN ANNE CHERRIES

“Fiesta® Dinnerware was designed by Frederick Hurten Rhead in 1936 and is now among
the most collected china products in the world.”  Go to their website and see what colors were produced in which year(s).     http://www.hlchina.com/fiestacolors.htm   This bowl with the cherries was photographed on a balcony  in Sheboygan WI in August.
