the lavender room

my sis is into lavender and purple big time. so when she saw this cool quilt in spearfish she bought it and i bought the picture of lilacs to go over her hand made cherrywood chest. i do not know how it originally came into the family...maybe my cousin doug knows. but my grandmother had it for a while and then for some crazy reason sold it to some friends of hers. the only thing i remember about them is that the lady could make great bisquits using the wrong techniques. anyway it caused a great rift in the family and finally it came back to grandmother. and then to my sis. it is a great chest. i hope she has written a history on the bottom of one of the drawers. or maybe grandmother did. i have pieces of furniture with her writing on the bottom of drawers and shelves. i have added my own comments. the picture is her birthday and christmas present and all other occasions gift for the year 2006.
