Boston Lady says:Beth, this piece is absolutely stunning and I am certain that your sister’s mother-in-law is going to flip when she sees this if she hasn’t already. I think it was very thoughtful of you to make something for her that she will treasure always. I’m certain she won’t want to take it off for a minute. Just gorgeous!
