Today's fog view produced this vivid sunset:
I am so happy you came to visit today and I hope it is edifying!! I've very encouraged when you listen and leave your thoughts in a comment here.
I ordered some paper teacups with handles from the web and
was so pleased with them. They worked well. Acquire these by doing a web search for paper teacups with handles . These are sometimes listed as party supplies.
I sent my visitors off with a tray ala Lady Harriot in her carriage. Affectionate devotees of Wives and Daughters will remember that scene of someone serving her a refreshment on a tray through the window of her carriage. I got a kick out of reenacting that scene with hot tea, using these paper cups:
I shared from my recent Eric Sloane book the origin of the dollar sign.
I also did a brief review of a girls activity book. There is a boys book like this you can order, and there are several publishers with different covers.
I always suggest that older women read and do the activities in these books, because they benefit greatly from doing the things they were not given the opportunity to do when they were growing up. Also, its very edifying and restoring to do everything you want your own children to do.
You could get a scrapbook or journal book and paste in all the handicrafts shown in this book. I am planning to do this, myself.
I made this video for my laid-up, shut-in friends who are recovering from illness and not getting around much. If you are one of them, this is a good time to get re-acquainted with the video version of Wives and Daughters. You can watch it free on Dailymotion.com
You can also order a dvd set for yourself online.
Please enjoy being home while you listen:

ReplyDeleteDear Lydia Ruth,
ReplyDeleteI am grateful that you always provide quality content for all homemakers and those who aspire to be one. I really appreciated and enjoyed all the poetry readings in today’s broadcast, too. It’s such a special treat when you read them aloud to us.😊
After church today, one of my Sunday school students presented me with a box of disposable tea cups and saucers; they were just like the ones you shared in your video. I usually host a tea party for my girl students biannually, and she told me to use them for our next gathering. They ordered them off of Amazon, and I am looking forward to hosting a party with them soon. So are the girls.😉
Thank you, Lydia, for being so kind and sharing all your wonderful ideas and advice to create a place of beauty within our own homes.
Blessings,❤️Holly
