It is one of the main reasons I started my blog...to try to "mother" others into doing things like thank you notes, dinner parties and knowing how to RSVP. Some have said it is a lost art...but why does it have to be? My daughter is 25 and she can cook and enjoys it when she has the time. She has had small little gatherings, but has no room for many treasures yet in her little apartment, so nothing too formal as of yet. But, she wants to and she loves pretty things. I'm so glad that my grandmothers both shared their love of these things with my mother, who passed them on to me and now my daughter. I love pizza on paper plates just as much as the next person, but I love to fuss sometimes too!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190096917851087676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282397331502638752.post-66260936587922951032010-08-15T23:36:39.510-05:002010-08-15T23:36:39.510-05:00Cherry Kay, I forgot to tell you I did check out h...Cherry Kay, I forgot to tell you I did check out her site and on itunes!!

What a lovely table and treats for her party. I am sooo glad you shared it. I already have my 5 year old granddaughter wanting to be like me in decorating and tablescapes. She gets out ribbon and ties it to everything or cuts paper cutouts and puts them all over and I leave it there! I want to encourage this in her. It is sad to hear that these companies are going out of business. I guess this economy affects everyone, even companies that have been around forever.

I was waaaay off, huh? LOL<br />I googled the term after I read your comment & discovered that I actually OWN a green "nappy" that was my Mother's & is shown on Replacements. I just used it as a candy dish...who knew??!! :-)<br /><br />Add this to the looooong list of things I have learned since blogging!<br /><br />Thank you so much for not making me feel like a dumb Yankee. ;-p<br /><br />fondly,<br />RettRettabughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974677657528087286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282397331502638752.post-57559453228265686372010-08-14T11:28:21.175-05:002010-08-14T11:28:21.175-05:00Rhett (and by the way, I love your name), "na...Rhett (and by the way, I love your name), "nappy" is an old term for a small bowl. A berry bowl would be an example of a "nappy." Now imagine a peg attached to the bottom of a berry bowl that would allow it to fit in the opening of a candle holder. That is a "peg nappy." Large candelabra often have a center candleholder that sits a touch higher than the surrounding candleholders on the piece. When you see a flower arrangement placed in that center position with candles surrounding it, that flower arrangement is commonly placed in a peg nappy. The peg on the nappy resembles the bottom of a candle taper. I have found that I don't necessarily have to limit arrangements made in a peg nappy to candlesticks. They will rest nicely in just about anything that is the correct diameter. The 5 1/2" wide urns in this post are a perfect example. Peg nappies are usually clear glass, so they pretty much are invisible in the arrangement. I fill them with oasis and go for it. Because they are quite shallow, I add water just about daily. Replacements usually will have a listing for 'peg nappy,' and I often find them on eBay, too. Check them out! They are a wonderful tool. I keep about 8 of them to be able to make arrangements for multiple tables. i don't worry about whether or not they are all exactly alike because they really don't show in the arrangement. I often plop the nappy in a container for one event, and then I pick it up and plop it in another container for a totally different tablescape the next day or so. So versatile...makes it possible to get a lot of mileage out of one arrangement. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have other questions, and I want to know if you decide to give them a try. Thanks for your kind comments and your question!

Off in cyberspace again. :/<br /><br />Your DD special table is just so charming from beginning to end. I love her centerpieces of roses but have to ask you what you meant by " peg nappies"??? Must be a Southern "thang'" ~smile~ Perhaps they are the little water tubes with the slits in the rubber caps that florists use?? <br />If you answer here in the comments section, I'll see it, as I have subscribed by email. That way others will know the answer too. I can't be the only Yankee out there wondering!

I totally agree with you on the younger generation and I hope that we can influence them. They are already so "minimal" in decorating, etc., much beauty is lost as well as history.
