I think it would look awesome in our shop but Larry thinks it's too girly and too British because we are Made In The USA.I agree this couch is a smidge girly and British but it's awesome! I love it!
If it was in the shop it would probably be covered in sawdust anyway....

A CATALOG OF LOVE
"...faux Dewey Decimal catalog cards, where the book number is replaced by milestone dates, chapters of our love overwrites book titles, and important locations substitute publisher cities. One day, when we are both old and wrinkled, I hope we will be able to fill the box completely with our life’s chapters together."I'm in awe! What a romantic gift. Grace Light is a romantic genius...

ENRICHMENT WAS TONIGHT AND THE THEME
Decorations were awesome and inspired by Jordan and Martha.
Food was incredible! Darcy made chicken dumpling soup, strawberry salad, fresh lemonade and flourless chocolate cake with raspberry puree and fresh whipped cream...
We talked about fun favorite things and then Ann Papworth was our keynote speaker. She talked to us about learning to recognize and enjoy favorite things and being grateful. From the smallest and simplest to our ever changing interests and talents and having them be a source of joy and comfort through our different life experiences.It was an incredible evening!

Steve and Landon slept in a tent in the living room during our stay.
We loved eating dinner in the tent, especially pizza from Moose's Tooth....
