House of Fine Furnishings : Second Generation…or maybe Third I collected things over the years for my boys…stored them in my basement and barn. When the first “launched” and was needing to furnish a place in DC, he and his now-wife shopped my basement. They loaded these Fine Furnishings into my 3rd hand pick-up and off they went. The transmission dropped on the Brooklyn Bridge. Given NY laws, they had to find a special tow truck to take it off the bridge, and back onto the highway. AAA took it from there to the closest shop in a seedy part of town. They were given a quote and called me. I called Joey, who had always taken care of the truck, and told him what happened and the quote. He said it was a fair price, so the repair guy got the go head and promised the truck would be done in 24 hours. They had to leave the truck, and all its treasures and make their way into the city to try to see it as an opportunity to spend a night in NYC-a bonus! Well, not so much. The next day was a nail biter-getting a cab to take them back to the truck before the shop closed…and that was key because they needed to get to DC ASAP to housesit a sick cat. Oy. The truck was finished and no additional charges and off they went to make it to the sick cat the next AM.
The Lincoln house of Fine Furnishings furnished the first apartment, and the second, and the third…and were then transported to Denver, to the first house, and then the second. Much of them are there today. So, when in Denver, we raise a toast to the gems from the Lincoln House of Fine Furnishings and the taste of Lincoln’s citizenry. Keep your eyes open, because you might find a gem as we did! https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/seating/chairs/evans-herman-miller-lcw-charles-eames/id-f_25797652/ Evans Herman Miller LCW by Charles Eames 1stdibs.com ------ Sara Mattes > On Nov 25, 2023, at 4:26 PM, Scott Clary <[email protected]> wrote: > > Or as Heather's Auntie Sue would say, "the gift shop," of which all the > family's Christmas gifts came from... > > Kind Regards, > > Scott Clary > 617-968-5769 > > Sent from a mobile device - please excuse typos and errors > > On Sat, Nov 25, 2023, 4:23 PM John and Margit Griffith > <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> First Opportunity: I understand the proper name for the place where we >> exchange all manner of useful items is the "Swap Shed" - which, I have >> heard, had been the "Swap Table" until the first move to the new (now >> demolished) shed.
