- Just caught up on blog reading and read dear friend Karen's post: Thrift Store Treasures on her lovely blog of Beatrice Euphemie.
- She is showing off her treasures and I spotted some very familiar Old World Charm of Crocheted Valences and did mention so in my comment.
- Lo and behold. For running the wet vac to suck up the excessive rain water that entered into husband Pieter's work shop, I just killed my waiting time in-between emptying the 6 gallon bucket, by scanning old slides.
- I've set up my laptop with my second scanner in the Rose Suite's living room. So I can hear the sound the wet vac is making next door, when full.
- You guess my amazement when I came across this photo that we took during one of our trips to Europe in 1985, as a writing subject for my weekly feature in our local news paper. Never used this then, but now I like to show it to you as once again crocheting has become very popular.
- This particular home owner must LOVE flowers.
- They are hanging from above the window...
- On a shelf inside the window...
- Inside a planter box on the window sill and indoors are also plants on the window sill and hanging...
- Those crocheted lace valences got hung by interlacing a thin rod, either brass or wood, through some openings at the top.
- Rather practical and just click on the above link in Karen's blog to see such hand crocheted lace valences.
It sure did bring back fond memories...
Do you have some Old World Charm of Crocheted Valences?
- A couple of weeks ago, I started to receive numerous anonymous spam comments and some did even end up being published.
- It also has affected the listing of my Popular Posts, on the sidebar but that will get sorted out again over time.
- Even if they do end up in the Spam, it is rather annoying for having to delete them. So what did I do to stop this?

Instead of having Anyone comment, I now changed to Registered User and the Spam Comments have completely vanished!
- Previously I'd left this open to Anyone as there are lots of silent followers, especially relatives, that never ever comment anyway, so what's the purpose of keeping that option open?
- Maybe some of you find this helpful as well.
- So glad it worked for friend Tammy! Read her comment on {Mom's 5th Dialysis Anniversary}
- If some of you have other tips to share; more than welcome to leave a comment!
Wishing you a great week; wherever you are!
Saturday evening, we had a dinner for six friends at our home. Just like to share with you my table setting. From husband Pieter, I had a dozen white roses and in our garden we just found enough Fragrant double Obdam narcissus for putting in the individual Delft white picture frames, as a place setting. We had heavy rain on Saturday but inside it was cozy.
- Real Wax Carved Rose tea lights (battery operated Flameless Candles) in white, when lit they look yellowish.
- White ceramic roses as center piece, together with the Baccarat Harcourt pitcher with real white roses.
- You can see this Baccarat Harcourt pitcher in a previous post, see link below.
- Gumbo Soup spoon is Bridal Rose by Alvin and other flatware is my Gero Zilmeta 528 Menuet.
- Baccarat Piccadilly stemware.
- French Pillivuyt charger...
- Le Jacquard Français tablecloth.
- Table got set for 8 of us.
- Before I placed a fork to the left of this plate, I took the photo...
- Don't you like to have cozy dinners with friends when the weather is cold, windy and rainy?
