Show and Tell through Cross-Pollination

Today's post is from a guest blogger, courtesy of the Great Blog Cross-Pollination set up by Geohde. Check her blog for a list of participants, and from there try to guess who wrote this post and leave your guess in the comments. And THAT is where you'll actually find Mrs Shoes today.

Show & Tell: The Table

Awhile back I shared some souvenirs we brought back from the 2 years we lived in the Middle East. Today I'm showing and telling about the gift I got for my husband's birthday in 1998, from the souk in Damascus.

It's just a table.


That opens up.

For cards.

Or checkers or chess.

Or backgammon.

Mostly, it's a decoration. We haven't had time for such games in, oh, 7 years or so.

For more Show & Tell, check with Lollipop Goldstein the teacher.

I am guessing that your guest blogger is Lori from Weebles Wobblog because I know that she lived in the middle east for a while. Plus, her daughter is 7 years old.

What a beautiful (and functional) table!

I am totally not sure. My guess is Lori as well... and I have to say... what a freakin' sweet table!

what a fabulous table! It's a shame that the mystery blogger hasn't had time to play games on it. (turn the telly off and do something fun!)

Gorgeous table Lori, although like you, I would probably not have had the time to play games on it either. Maybe if I stepped away from the computer.

Geohde said...

Yep Lori. Indisputibly!

That is very cool. And I knew it was Lori because I had already been to her blog.

I love the table. I'm attracted to anything that multitasks, even furniture.

Beautiful table! It was obviously Lori . . . as soon as I read the first comment. I blame it on massive fatigue. :)
