I found it interesting that tables without a baize underneath the linen were considered "sleazy". I can only imagine what they would consider this current day and age to be.<br /><br />I hope you do hold a Victorian dinner party - I would love to hear your summary of how things go. <br /><br />Kimalive2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/03583740563662326506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-15667513918846060442010-03-25T18:27:35.338-04:002010-03-25T18:27:35.338-04:00Neat, that's a good possibility.

Do you know that butlers had little brooms and pans for catching bread crumbs? I've seen them in antique shops.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934973314360291318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-5100621181023278252010-03-25T08:44:39.299-04:002010-03-25T08:44:39.299-04:00Thank you for commenting.
