The idea of celebrating feast days. We had something like that every Sunday. <br /><br />Displaced people at least would always take their linens and their candlesticks with them. Necessities of life and treasures at the same time, foreshadowing the feast to come.<br /><br />Cake is not that good for you, but a little bit might be nice, if we still baked. It gives a bit of fun, attraction and dignity to domesticity, which we've also lost. And maybe a bit of fresh cake might be better than all that junk consumed these days.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259491144770243688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164910523346972642.post-47477152517236204322010-04-07T11:49:45.948-06:002010-04-07T11:49:45.948-06:00With a table cloth, candles, arrangements and so o...With a table cloth, candles, arrangements and so on.

Without cups? :) With white table cloth and the kids could not sit there, or with that much cake in the afternoon? <br /><br />Swedes are supposed to have cake every afternoon, I read somewhere the other day.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259491144770243688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164910523346972642.post-76173956394590356472010-04-06T13:48:50.274-06:002010-04-06T13:48:50.274-06:00My mom used to set a table like that, and then us ...My mom used to set a table like that, and then us kids sat at acard table.Bror Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913133289813136695noreply@blogger.com
