As Dan and I were walking though South Coast Plaza one evening, we saw a table at an Environmental Furniture showroom that we both loved. We asked how much it was...$2700! Needless to say, it was beyond our budget. After the saleswoman left us alone for a bit, Dan started checking out how the table was constructed. "I could duplicate this," he told me. A month later, this moved into our kitchen. I love it!
My grandfather was also very creative and handy. My grandmother would often bring home things and he would duplicate them and then she would return them. He died when I was young, so stories about his talent seemed magical and almost too good to be true. Little did I know that my husband would have similar giftings!

Kimmy- Sorry, it is one of a kind. Perhaps if you dress up like Frodo again, we might be able to work something out.
Megan- I agree.
Suz- You always have the perfect words for a post. Shan and I were talking about that and how we aspire to be as eloquent. I will have to post pics of some of the other things he has already made.
Shey- Thank you for continuing to check my blog, even after such an extended absence. I've been encouraging Dan to post on my blog in order to help make the posts more frequent. Go Dan!
