26th day -- The remains of the day

What a fun evening! Several friends came over to enjoy a presentation of Premier Jewelry Designs, and we had such a good time. Kristy Crain delivers a spirited and Spirit-led demonstration of the latest jewelry designs as well as fashion tips for wearing the products. It is always such a pleasure to be around people who are straight forward about the role that faith in Christ is playing in their lives. Very refreshing.

And I love to serve refreshments on pretty dishes! I think even beans and liver would be decently appealing if they were served in antique glass bowls. Well, that might be stretching beauty to its absolute maximum capabilities. But at least the presentation would enhance the cuisine a bit.

I am determined to use my pretty dishes even if it means that I will lose some to breakage in the process. My take on breaking antiques is that now the remaining ones are worth that much more. Of course, I'd really rather that someone else would break their antiques and make mine worth more, but I have to do my part to sustain the law of supply and demand.

For now, I'll put these pretties back into my china cupboard and look forward to bringing them out again next week for Thanksgiving dinner.
