i recently won this antique etiquette book on ebay. copyright 1891. written by mrs. annie r. white. it has several beautiful illustrations in it.. most of which have nothing to do with etiquette..like jack and the beanstalk??????????
so i will be starting a regular post on etiquette quoted from this book. todays advise is..
from the table manners.
if a guest does not care for a certain article on the table, or for some reason does not wish to partake of it, he should not refuse it by stating "cheese don't agree with me" or " i can't endure tomatoes." but simply say "i do not care for any, thank you."
we well remember the horror and disgust with which an apparently well bred lady filled her listeners at the the table by declining a certain dish with the assertion that "it took to long to digest, and her doctor has forbidden it."
more advice from mrs. annie r. white soon!
a new book to read. will letcha know if it is a good one!
so much stuff! glitter, jewels, flowers, a stamp, a bunch, buttons, lots of pretty ribbons and the pretty hair clips she made.
the hairbows are too cute!and the flowers are crocheted by me. i might use these for my dolls but i might wear them myself!
i have heard that anymore that 3 of something equals a collection. so i guess i have a collection of hankie holders now. i won these beauties on ebay last week. i just love the satiny fabric, ribbons and rosette trims. and all of this detail..to hold your hankies!
mikey stole this from me right away. it is a pretty tote basket woven from plastic cording. he put his toys in it. put it on his head..he didn't want to give it up at bedtime!
beautiful rainbow woven rebozo. these are used as wraps and to carry things..and babies!
a robozo made of fleece. this is so soft and warm. you could easily make this yourself!
and a pretty doily with embroidered flower and crocheted edge. love the bright colors.
