Aunt Mabel's sofa

For a change of pace (and because Jessie is doing so well these past few days) we are offering some red clouds over the old homestead at sunset tonight, and the sofa story.

Our favorite Pottery Barn sofa was battered by years of wear and tear. I have been looking to buy a new one since this one lasted a good 18 or so years of abuse (see below), but the new ones are about $3,000.

So when a friend of ours posted her Aunt Mabel's sofa on Facebook, I jumped on it. Not literally.

It is a bit flowery in competition with the rug, and several inches shorter, but very well made and very comfortable.

We'll see how it works out.

Janet says Aunt Mabel would not be horrified by the presence of (sometimes) obnoxious children on her beautiful sofa.
