For the past three birthdays, my mom has given me a year subscription to Martha Stewart’s magazine Living. Usually, I get most of my information (news, recipes, organizational and decorating ideas) from the internet. But nothing can replace the magazine experience – from finding it in the mailbox to turning the glossy pages to passing it along to someone else. I make a point of doing at least one thing from each issue whether it is trying a recipe or craft or following some quip of advice.
This month, an organizational idea caught my eye. For one thing, it made cotton balls and q-tip easily accessible. For another thing, it used glassware. When you get married in the South and invite 700 people, you end up with a lot of glassware and crystal. I am thankful for all my pretty things, but until I have a tea party for 1000 people most of it goes unused.
