A Quick Show and Tell

We have packed up most of our holiday decorations.  When I was getting some things ready to go back over the garage I just had to take a picture of one of our treasures.  Look at this beauty:






Isn't is lovely?  It is supposed to be a tree skirt but I can't bare to put it under a tree.  We use it as a table topper.  Rick's mother, Dolores, made this for him as a gift years ago.  Every year we take it out and marvel at how incredible it is.  I had to unfold it to take the pix so I'm sorry about the wrinkles.  But.....if I take the time to steam it....and then take the pix....something else will happen and I would never have gotten to photograph it for this post.  Know what I mean?

Smiles,
Kelly

  1. Really cute! I don't think I'd have the heart to cut it either. Table topper is perfect!

  2. How beautiful. What a special gift from Rick's Mom. I agree, I wouldn't put it under the tree either ;-)

  3. Wow, that is just beautiful. I love all the handwork. My mom used to have something like this, but Dad sold it during his big estate sale. I'm hoping at some point to re-create hers from memory.
