My friends are neat. Not only has everyone and their mother (quite seriously, I've gotten a bunch of everyone's mothers) wished us good tidings on the new bairn (look it up; we don't live on a farm), but they bring us neat stuff, too!
Gah! Look at it! It's so pretty!
I've been wanting a wood high chair forever and guess what? My bestie found this ultra-fab old-school high chair at an antique store up by her fam's cabin, so she nabbed it, chucked it in her car and hauled it down here for me. She is really only lending it to me until she has some little babes of her own, but who needs a high chair after your kids are grown anyhow?
It's even better than I could imagine because of some sort of "oxidized wood" that's involved that makes it even cooler to… wood nerds. And the metal tray is sweet. And the tray swings all the way around to the back of the chair, just in case you need the tray behind your child and upside down. So cool.
Besides that nifty gifty, the bestie also made this cute wall hanging…
Fabric flowers and buttons? I approve!
It seems my pals were all about helping me decorate the ladies' rooms, because my other friend, America, (who claims she doesn't have a crafty skill up her sleeve) (who also brought us dinner, so extra props) made these awesome pillows for the oldest babes…
So cute! Oooo, I do see a problem here for the future, though. The first two Bratt ladies have nouns for names and #3 does not. We could go for meaning, but "war-like" might not look so good embroidered on a pillow. But who knows!
Me ma also made a really cute bumblebee dress for V (to which she says, "it's not a Transformer, but it has a bumblebee on it"- the G is so proud), but I'll get a picture of that later.
In any case, thanks to all you crazy folks for all your congratulations and well wishes on the new family member. And whoever is new to the blog, and it seems as if there are a lot of you, hello! Nice to see you!
