Saturday was another beautiful day to start the weekend off right. So we took advantage of it to refinish an old dresser that will end up in the baby's room. Beverly came to help me with some good advice and everything we needed to do the job (I know, I never have anything). For the background story, this dresser is twice our age as Bonne Maman bought it 63 years ago when Arlette was born! 
And it made its way to us and now looks brand new, ready to survive the next generation. Now I have to return the favor and so I'll go help Bev paint the new windows at the Mills' next weekend.The picture of Rachel and I was taken last Sunday at Branch Brook Park in Newark during the cherry blossom festival where they have over 4000 trees in bloom...although with our bad luck the blooming was almost over and most of the trees were already flowerless. But it was a beautiful day and we had a nice picnic :)

I love that you two take advantage of so many FREE things to do. Looks like you had a great weekend getting to work and play with success. BM will be so happy to see how wonderful the bureau looks. We always tease her about saving everything, but I am glad we all saved them too.
63??? Already??? How did that happen??!!
Ha ha! Free is good :)
I'm so glad you saved this one too Arlette! I looks so good now I almost want to sleep in the baby's room :)And I'm really looking forward to show it to you guys and BM!
63, wow, i know I almost didn't write this one because I was afraid it would scare you ;)
The dresser looks great! can't wait to see it filled with baby clothes. I love all of our family heirloom/hand-me-downs :)
And now there's a cute lamp from ikea on it with Michelle's fabric for the shade that your mom sewed! Looks so great all together. The bed has to go, frames too, got to put some cute posters, crib and changing table, and baby's room will be all set. So exciting!
