Your great common sense and wisdom reminds me of her, although you are still much younger!

Alright ya little whippersnapper! Mind yer p's and q's and if I hear of any shenanigans I'ma goin ta cut ya outa da will again.

Dude. The fancy French couples in ceramic and plaster? Seen those? About 50 couples around, I think.
Chickens. a chicken room. Ceramic Chickens and roosters, a sweet pair of chicken lamps.

I have always likened my MIL to Hyacinth on 'Keeping Up Appearances'. Dead-ringer!

I actually found great evidence of past 'Candelight Suppers!'

A few books on how to run a proper Sunday School..........

And as for you, Mr HARRYWALLY, make sure ya toe da line or I'll come up there with a willow switch! There's a few miles left in my arm for teaching purposes.

Goes to show you ....... the Masons are still a mysterious and secret organization. The way this thread went, and is still going, it shows that only the initiated, or someone like me, who was let in on it, knows what the question in the OP is really asking.

Sorry there, Richard!
My mom's mother would be taking-up and letting down donated jeans for an old aunt who had taken on her siblings 8 kids for free and would be altering a fancy dress for the doctor's wife the same day.
Outfits for the twirlers at the high-school, curtains for the restaurant. I saw my first couch being reupholstered, first wedding dress being fitted and altered. My first view of a smile on a new bride. Country folks, black and white. Good people.
She never left the house. The best came to her.

I spent many hours watching her. Learning things. Great gal.
I especially loved making the fabric-covered buttons with the cool old press apparatus.

Your affinity for the fabric is not lost upon me. Not to mention the wisdom!

She also had a lot of these things called books??? Not sure what those are used for.

The in-laws are Baptist tee-toteleers. At least according to her.
The old man would have a time, back in the day!
I did find a Crown gift set with 3/4 left. Seems OK?

Is it the Crown Royal XR? Stuff is expensive.

No matter, It's distilled, drink er up!

Just had some CR Northern Harvest. Meh.... Not as good as the Makers I have in the cabinet.

A motto to live by; 'Drink Crown, Fall Down' !
It will happen!
