“Celebrating Something Special Today Now and Tomorrow”

Nov 12th “Celebrating Something Special Today Now and Tomorrow”

Now or Never?

This is definitely the time to “pull out all the stops” …

It is that… appointed time in LIFE… to use all of that – “Good Stuff” – you have been saving for just the “Right Occasion.”

As a small child, I would just love when my mother would open up her “Cedar Lane Chest.” The very first and most delicious memory ever… as I remember back to those good old days… was that wonderful smell of Cedar.

Next, she would very carefully take out some items out … one by one… and we would look at each and match together … the different sets together… and always looking for those items that were similar with those items that were to be used for this special occasion and or whatever extra special Holiday occasion we were preparing for?

The above “Cedar Chest” looks similar to the one my Mother had… as she bought her’s back, in the 1920’s!

Mom would have so much to say, about everything… as she was taking items out, and all the while handling so very carefully, and then giving to me the information… that I would need to know, regarding the care and concern for each item.

Commenting on some items, as – “this was her Mother’s” – and then saving more like something… “someday all of these linens will be yours!”

It was easy for me to dream of the way, that I would one day… place and arrange, all of Mom’s gifts to me!

There were beautiful items, hand-embroider and made with hundreds o f French-knots, these embroidery items made with such wonderful silky threads, and also some crochet doilies, and lots of table center pieces, also for the furniture there were beautiful crochet arm rest covers – also matching crochet items to throw over the sofa, and lots of other materials and useful hand-made items.

With all of these beautiful and most wonderful “Works of Art” – now and in the coming up months… we have all kinds of extra special occasions, and also including some very extra special “BIRTHDAYS” just a waiting on the calendar …. right NOW… for all of these prize works of “MOM’s” to be used and in displayed !

It is at this special time of the year… the last couple of months and the very first two months of out NeXT year 2023 … and that will all be starting real soon… so to remember “MOM” we will use and put out for all of our visitors to the house…. to see and make wonderful comments on all of the wonderful items which will be on display! for sure… be used and seen this year!

So now… it is finally, that extra special time of the year… with all of the up coming Holidays and Celebrations that are on the Calendar – to use – and to be seen… for which they were made!

When on display – and while you can give your guests the “Grand Tour” – bragging on all of the “Ancestors” who made and handed down to you all of these wonderful items – and, Guess who … will be the next “Generation to receive and reap the rewards!”
