Feathering My Nest with Memories

Welcome to my southern Nest!

I have been busy with the thrill of being a grandma

and 

setting up house in a small beach house that we are renting. 

We rented the Nest unfurnished.

It didn't feel like a home

but

I had plans to feather it with wonderful memories.

The walls were waiting to be part of a family,

my family.

This Nest welcomed 50 years of memories.

My grandfather recently passed away leaving

many treasures of his life.

I brought those memories into my blank little beach house

and brought it to life.

A true Nest away from Home.

This painting welcomed me into his home

each time I visited.

The chair sat to the right of my grandfather's desk.

The bookshelves are filled with my grandmother's and grandfather's personalities.

I know many of
the  treasures I wouldn't have selected for myself,
but I think that makes them even more special.

This sofa hosted many naps,

Every time I walk into this room it makes me smile.

Many family stories were listened to while swinging on the porch.

Many meals were shared around this table.

We all have settled in and are enjoying

our little Nest.

Everything old is new again!

Enjoy!
