Now or Never?
This is definitely the time to “pull out all stops” – It is the appointed time to use all that “Good Stuff” – you have been saving for just the “Right Occasion.”
As a small child, I would love when my mother would open up her ceder Lane chest. The first delicious memory was the wonderful smell of ceder. Next, she would very carefully take items out and we would look at each and match the set together and find similar items to be used for this or whatever occasion we were preparing for?
Mom would comment om some items, as – “this was her Mother’s – and someday all these linens will be yours!” It was easy for me to dream of the way I would place and arrange, all of Mom’s gifts to me! There were beautiful items made with hundreds o f French-knots, embroidery items with silky threads, crochet doilies, table center pieces, crochet arm rest covers – crochet items to throw over the sofa, and lots of other materials and useful hand-made items.
With all “Works of Art” – now is the time – to use – for which they were made! When on display – you can give your guests the “Grand Tour” – bragging on all the “Ancestors” who made and handed down to you – and, who will be the next “Generation to reap the rewards!”
