Indeed it ought to be a cardinal rule in every home that the silver, linen, and fine manners are to be used every day.  Use brightens and whitens all three..." - Emily Holt, 1903

This is a tribute to my Aunt EvaLou.  She was such a beauty, inside and out.

Some of my early memories of loving lavender, linen, and blue and white dishes are from visits to her house in Montgomery, Alabama.

With Much Love.
