Mom's Entry

My aunt loved the alabaster grapes pic so much that it inspired her to want to use the faux grapes that were hers and my Mom's grandmothers (my great grandma, Nani) in some way.

These grapes were attached to tacky plastic leaves and had what seemed to be 50 years worth of grime on them. After we cut them down to just the clusters and cleaned them really well, they took on a new life!

I placed them casually in what is also Nani’s antique hors d’oeuvre server. The chest is Nanis as well… in fact, the only new item in this cozy entry is the charming little light fixture from Pottery Barn.

My Mom purchased the chinoiserie art when she was my age.
