I'm certain that you, too, may be spending some of your "at home" time catching up on tasks. For me, it's been an opportunity to do some sorting, purging and organizing. I have been working on files and bookcases and I should tackle closets next. One little treasure which I came across in my teaching files was this sweet booklet. My paternal grandmother mailed it to me, from IN, in 1968 (according to the copyright). I am pretty sure that qualifies this publication as an antique! 😉
See Grandmother's writing at the top?
I was nearly five and back then, children enjoyed paper crafts like this and paper dolls, etc. I had kept it and, later, some of the little cut-outs graced springtime bulletin boards. Still in good shape, I decided to utilize two of the brightly colored finger puppets as napkin rings for today's table.
Our crab tree is exploding with blossoms and I couldn't resist snipping a few branches for the centerpiece.
The two small candles and the lace gloves are also from my childhood. I sometimes pull out these items to use with my Easter decorations.
Without the initial intention, this came together as a childhood tablescape! I was really just trying to have something bright and happy.
I hope your day is bright and happy. Take good care, all! 💮
