In my house: basement items

I was looking around my basement the other day and realizing that I had lots of items from Lachute. In fact some of them went back some time as my dad would have recognized them.

*****

A small lamp that was in the guestroom.

A sun hat that my mom wore at Green Acres. (See previous post)

A round table that was in the living room.

A fall scene bought by my dad at Eaton's. It was painted by a family friend.

The baby butler table. My mom used it in later years for her plants in the front porch.

A round wicker basket that my mom's mom used to bring home her groceries.

A small brown table and a small red table. They were always in the television room after my dad died. Before that I am not too sure.

A Noah's Ark tablecloth that had belonged to my mom when she was little.

A weather glass that was a gift from a family friend - the husband of the friend who did the fall painting.

I do enjoy the connections of these items in my house. I have many more items that came from the family home in Lachute.
