Dear Reader,
There's a story tucked away in the chandelier hanging in my dining room, but I'd never really thought about it until book club reader, Barbara, asked, "I want to know about your chandelier." "Did you already write about it and I missed it?" (I'd posted some pictures of my recent BINGO Birthday party and Barb's keen eye spotted my curious chandelier.) "There has to be a story about all that [stuff] hanging on it!!"
Yes, indeed, Barbara, there is a story, and it's a story that writes a new chapter whenever folks come to my house to celebrate. Look up at my chandelier, and you'll see a Valentine card, vintage cookie cutters, Easter eggs hanging from delicate pink ribbons, a black bat my grandson made last Halloween, Christmas tree bulbs, bunnies, bells, turkeys, New Year's Eve horns, a fuzzy black mustache from my brother-in-law's birthday party, a plush stuffed cow wearing a sweater, raffia, and the crazy colorful paper chain that started it all. When folks come to dinner, I like to do a little decorating, but after the party, when I take down the decorations, I always leave something behind in the chandelier. It's become a one-of-a-kind piece of dining room art.
