The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

    Did she?


    A RED-LESS DAY?

    “Oh, my goodness, oh, my dear!
    Don’t you think it’s very clear
    That a red-less day’s a drag?”

    That should certainly get any young ladies attention. It would be hard to say no with this kind of setup.

    That makes my heart go pitter patter! What girl wouldn't love to be proposed to in that kind of setting? Don't know if you read Podso's blog but she had the best little story yesterday about how her dad proposed to her mom. This tablesetting would fit right in. Beautiful!

    Bee-yoo-tee-ful table linen!!! So wonderfully delicate and finely stitched. Just gorgeous. Fabulous chopstick set, too. I love to see different chopsticks & rests. Yours are uniquely sophisticated. The dishes are lovely, too, with a nice balance of red & white. Just FYI, I think hyacinths are my favorite springtime bloom, so the name of your blog stands out for me! Then to see that brilliant purple hyacinth in the header...wow!!! Have a wonderful weekend.
