Yes, I am happy to have my father's violin and I will it keep for my son until he wants it. Thank you for your visit.

I have never been there myself although the last time we were out visiting my son in Vancouver, he wanted to take us over to the island but we ran out of time.

I thought of you last week---my daughter and son-in-law are on vacation in Canada (Victoria). They mentioned that it was Canadian Thanksgiving, and that made me think of my Canadian blog friends. The table does, indeed, look lovely!<br /><br />I don't really enjoy turkey, so my favorite part of Thanksgiving is all the sides--- especially stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, corn pudding. (Carb overload!)<br /><br />I'm glad you decided to not paint the violin. It is beautiful just the way it is, and while I'm sure it would be equally beautiful painted and distressed, I think it would be a shame to change what is already so gorgeous.<br /><br />Blessings to you, sweet friend.<br /><br />Love,<br />PattiPattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948766889057998160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302244628380312811.post-85328194188607648632018-10-12T11:21:59.660-03:002018-10-12T11:21:59.660-03:00Beautiful table!

It's not just a decorative object, it's a musical instrument that would be changed forever by painting. I'm sure the tone would be ruined. Would love a piece of your pie on that gorgeous plate and cup of tea in that beautiful Pierced Lace. That table is a work of art! My favorite thing to do with turkey leftovers is to make a cold turkey sandwich on good white bread with mayonnaise, cranberry sauce and dressing.Jean | DelightfulRepast.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038772991628796917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302244628380312811.post-13744017563933433312018-10-11T10:31:29.721-03:002018-10-11T10:31:29.721-03:00So glad you had a great Thanksgiving dear lady .

I am a 'don't worry, paint it!" kind of person, but I believe when an item is special to the family, it's important to leave it as is.

It would look great!Deanna Rabe - Creekside Cottage Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133684514103206137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302244628380312811.post-14009427490802415752018-10-11T09:02:27.700-03:002018-10-11T09:02:27.700-03:00Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

I've only recently begun to follow you and haven't commented, yet, from shyness-- this post, however, has moved me to share my thoughts. <br />First of all, that Pierced Lace saucer is so pretty and perfect placed on the tablecloth(I notice you use the word "table topper" instead, and that's the first time I've seen that. Might have to Google this, haha). <br />As for the violin... Great choice! An heirloom has to be cherished, especially because so few people even get to have family heirlooms. Your father's violin is in perfect condition and it is wonderful you have it at home with you.<br />Beautiful photos, as always.pilarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631339192631291431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302244628380312811.post-20455510449205348252018-10-10T23:57:33.833-03:002018-10-10T23:57:33.833-03:00Such a beautifully and lovingly set Thanksgiving t...Such a beautifully and lovingly set Thanksgiving table! I loved the Pilgrim man and woman figurines, just added the perfect touch to the table! I love turkey leftovers, like you, and look forward to using them up after Thanksgiving. I see you've made a decision about the violin, I am agreeing with everyone else to keep it vintage as it is, it is such a beautiful sentimental piece. It would be lovely if one of your grandchildren decided to learn to play it!

It is a classic piece as well as a family heirloom...and to me, a violin ought to look like a violin...that's just my personal opinion. My mother took violin lessons and tried to hard to become a violinist, but just never really excelled at it. Her violin was given to one of my great-nieces. I don't know if she has ever played it, but I believe she treasures it as a gift from her great-grandmother. Enjoy the violin as it is...a treasure from your father, and someday your son will want it again I'm sure.Pamela M.

They are expensive instruments, and one day one of your grandchildren might like to learn. It would be so special to have the violin that was your fathers. A family heirloom to be passed down.

The wood is so beautiful and since it is a family piece, I would leave it in original condition. It would certainly lower the value. That may not be a concern with you since it's probably more of a sentimental piece, but future generations may wish you hadn't done it!The Victorian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771406484767173643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302244628380312811.post-13882191787224387592018-10-10T14:24:09.374-03:002018-10-10T14:24:09.374-03:00I loved your first prayer that wrote about thankin...I loved your first prayer that wrote about thanking God...so pretty.
