Christmas presents this year were started early - last spring. Tim made four sets of nesting tables, each set with three tables, for each of our three children, and one set for ourselves. It was all a big secret, but a pile of 48 legs lying around does raise some eyebrows. The children were told not to ask questions. I think they were surprised at the big reveal on Christmas Eve.

ReplyDeleteHi Lorrie - what amazing gifts! I've just done a post with final questions for the Magazine Swappers. Could you pop over and let me know what you think, please?
ReplyDeleteHi Lorrie...Wow, these are just gorgeous! Such a lovely gift from a very talented Dad...although I am sure you had a little hand in it?...

Lorrie, these are just wonderful. I have a set of antique nesting tables, but they are very unsturdy. I have to be careful what I put on them. Yours are so beautiful and look very sturdy. What a treasure you and your children will have!
