Heirloom Piece
When my mom was a little girl my grandma had a little cabinet custom made for her to play with. I inherited it and it stayed with me until I moved out. I begged my mom to hold onto it for me in case I ever had a little girl. For Eliza's 2nd birthday my mom officially passed it on to her first granddaughter. We sanded it down and painted it white. The best part was painting and sanding it at my grandma's house. I got all sorts of new stories out of her while we worked under the shade of her "boob tree" (to know the meaning of that name you'll have to visit grandma and the tree). I finally just finished the last touches.
