Rich and Kim's gifts from Mom & Dad

Found a few items that Mom has designated for Rich and Kim.







Furniture of the day

There's quite a bit of furniture still here in Mom and Dad's home.  Most of it will need to stay in order to stage the house when it goes up for sale, but I thought I'd show you what will eventually need a home. Maybe your home. If I have messed up and added an item here that has already been claimed, please accept my apology. 
 We think these are NOT heirlooms.




 Walnut dresser.
 Dining room buffet. Add to this the dining room table and chairs.
 Mom's dresser.
 Dad's dresser.
 Nightstand.
 Mom and Dad's bed.
 Kitchen table.

 Oak washstand. I remember this painted in two shades of blue as Hal's baby dresser.
 The daybed. I can remember this from our house on Tamarack Road in Byram township.
 The couch.
 Dad's recliner.
 A recliner from Heidi's home.
 Platform rocker that Dad refinished. Originally from the Peter Stuyvesant estate.
 Mom's desk.
 Could be a toy chest.


 Drew and Nicole's corner cabinet that Dad made. It's a twin to Heidi's.

Teacups, saucers and such

Here you'll find photos of Mom's teacup collection. Do any suit your fancy? If so, please drop me a line.  If not, please drop me a line.  Three items appear to be annotated for Gretchen, the rose-covered teapot, sugar and creamer. Otherwise, there are no notes.  Many of the items are marked Nippon, some are Bavaria and Germany and at least one is Noritake.  I can provide additional photographs of the markings if you'd like.  Just tell me which one or ones.
