Hi Ladies!
Our Red Hat Event was so much fun last week. We have the best group ever! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. Stay safe if you are traveling. We are going to Rebecca's on Christmas Day and to Dianne's on the 26th. What are your Christmas plans? (I am testing to see how many read these emails!)

Hi Ladies!
I hope to see all of you Tuesday night at Teri's house for our December Event. Here is our 2011 Calendar for the next 3 months so you can be planning in advance:
Jan. 2011 - Nelda
Feb. - Faye
March - Dianne F.
I have the calendar filled out until July 2011. I apparently lost (I blame the computer and the computer operator) Aug-Nov. 2011. I know there were people signed up for those months but I don't have them anymore. I think I had a copy-paste error. I do not know what months LaRose, JoAnn, and Jean signed up for. Judy, Brenda, and Dianne H. have not signed for a month. I will bring the calendar Tuesday night and maybe we can make sense of it.

Grandma Test
Subject: The Grandma Test
I was out walking with my Grandson. He picked up something off of the ground started to put it in his mouth. I took the item away from him and I asked him not to do that.
'Why?' my Grandson asked. "Because it's been on the ground; you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs," I replied. At this point, my Grandson looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Grandma, how do you know all this stuff?? You are so smart." I was thinking quickly and said to him. "All Grandmas know stuff. It's on the Grandma Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Grandma." We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but he was evidently pondering this new information. "Oh....I get it!” he beamed, “So if you don't pass the test you have to be the Grandpa. "Exactly," I replied with a big smile on my face.

Heirloom Tea Party
.jpg)
The Vintage Violets attended an Heirloom Tea Party at Nancy's house Monday night. We had delicious food and enjoyed sharing our special heirlooms. We had 18 Violets in attendance.
How to Clean Linens, Fabrics,etc.
This is going to be lengthy, because I am going to copy exactly what the article said. It was dated 9/11/1994.
CLEANING, STORING FAMILY HEIRLOOMS NOT HARD TO DO
There's no secret "ancient-Chinese" or otherwise, involved in the cleaning and storing process of the fabrics of cherished heirlooms.
In fact, Ludi Frye says all a person needs is a bar of soap, a cotton sheet, a bath tub, some regular washing detergent, non-chlorine bleach and a little patience.
Mrs. Frye restores and prepares wedding dresses, baptismal gowns, fine linens and just about anything that's made of 100% natural fibers.
"I'm not interested in man-made fibers. If it's polyester, it's really not for me," Mrs. Frye said.
The first step in the cleaning process requires rehydration of the fabric. Fill a tub with warm water and soak until water is dirtied. Drain and add more water as needed. Mrs. Frye said this process could take anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of months. One-quarter cup of detergent can be added after water is clear. For strong, resilient fabric, Mrs. Frye said she just adds a little washing detergent and lets it sit until the cleaning process is complete. For more delicate fibers, Mrs. Frye uses Ivory liquid (in various amounts) in lieu of heavier detergents. If the item requires bleaching, any oxygenated, non-chlorine bleach will do.
No elbow grease is needed. "If there is a secret, it's in the soaking." For storage of treasured possessions, Mrs. Frye said there are some definite no-no's. No plastic. No wood (unless acid-free.) No paper products (unless acid-free.) No chlorine bleach. And, no mothballs.
Lining a box and wrapping the item in a cotton sheet is all you need for storage purposes. An acid-free box ix preferable, but Mrs. Frye said if the item is enveloped in the cotton sheet, it's secure.
A bar of unwrapped deodorant soap stuffed in a cotton sock and placed between the sheet and box will ward off all bugs.
Mrs. Frye said the box should be stored under a bed or at the top of a closet and checked every two years. She said items should be aired out and the sheet washed or replaced if any yellowing does occur.
"You have to treat these things like you'd treat your skin. Most things need to breathe, and fine fabrics are no different," Mrs. Frye said.

March/April Event
It is a little warmer today so it's time for all the Violets to come out from under the Snuggies and have an EVENT! This is what Linda has planned:
"I would like to get 3/30 7:00pm scheduled for dessert at my house, 53 AVENUE OF THE Waters, Pike Road, Al We will have a show and tell. Each RedHatter is asked to bring something to show and tell that she is passionate about, just enjoys doing, or has interest in learning to do. I thought it might help us to get to know each other better."
Please call Linda 300-1627 and let her know if you are coming. We will have a new calendar that night to sign up to plan a month. I think it will go until about November, 2011. If you already know what month you want, let me know and I will sign you up. Remember, if 2 people sign together for the same month, then you must sign up for 2 months. This way the calendar will go longer and it will be a long time for your turn to come around again.
See you on the 30th!
