A Return to Loveliness 18



Come Gather

At

Victoria’s Table

Was the invitation often given
in the November issues.

In the blue room I have set up a tray with blue and white coffee service.
On the tray is a Christmas with Victoria book just ready for me
to wander through its pages


‘Home is not merely
four square walls,
though with pictures
hung and gilded;
home is where
affection calls
filled with shrines the
hearth had builded’
Charles Swain







Victoria magazines many photographs 
seemed to me as still-life paintings-
so beautifully were they executed
providing wondrous inspiration






‘Come ye thankful people, come,
raise the song of Harvest home
Henry Alford




“with ‘all safely gathered in,
ere the winter storms begin,”
in the words of the beloved old hymn,
we rejoice in grateful thanksgiving.
For this is the time of year when family a
and friends are gathered about us,
and true gifts are deeply appreciated.
Victoria Magazine often
‘raise a song of harvest home’
November 1991


   
November is the month we gather with family
and friends.
Wherever you go, to mothers, to grandmothers
or you are the host –
I wish you very many blessings


and a joyous time of Thanksgiving.
