She sounds like so much fun.

My grandmother had a beautiful carved wood table, and she gave it to my mom (the only girl) and I assumed (wrongly) that she would give it to me someday because I was the only girl and I had such fond memories of many special dinners at the table.

My mom gave it to my brother and his wife, "Laura Ashley". I threw a fit.

I think my mom regrets it because Laura Ashley is such a pretentious snob.

Any chance of getting it back?

I ended up with my stuff through the back door pretty much. Great-grandmother's bed was broken. It is a lovely dark wood 4 poster. I took it thinking somehow someone could repair it. Took about 20 years but finally had that repair done so now everyone covets it.... but it is Myranda's.

And Grama has been very open with Myranda and I over the past 5 years about wanting us to take stuff that we want so my mom won't get it. Sadly, we both still have china cabinets in the house that I wasn't able to move. And Myranda has a cedar chest and a TV. But, so far I think it will be okay for us to go home and get them
