J.W. WINSLOW'S FRESH ART WEBSONGS:

* *  LINEN AND LACE * *
   
THE SETUP:  You might say that I went kicking and screaming on Sunday morning, prodding myself to step up to the plate and attack the linen closet. No big deal, you say, but you don't know the half of it. Before my mom left this earthly place, she wisely told me that everything she had would be left to us. It was a joke for many years when I coveted a table or vase, or her favorite yellow jacket. "One of these days" she would say, "this will be yours". When the time comes, it is the last thing you consider, until the dust settles and business requires disposition and settlement.
 
Of course, my brother wanted nothing, but accepted a few towels, my grandfather's desk and a fabulous old clock. I was left with the house and the goods, which included the treasures of my mother and my grandmother. These two women were great lovers of beautiful things, but their favorite items were often made of linen or lace, and intended as table d�cor. Handed down from a farm girl in Iowa with a huge trousseau, and bolstered by my father's Louisiana Cajun family, my mother was the recipient of the most divine cloths and napkins, embroidered hand towels, pillow slips, and countless bed linens. All of this was kept in her linen closet, which was mostly a place of mystery to us, and unveiled on various holidays and feasts.
 
Over the years, as I grew up, I learned to help her set these lovely tables, matching the divine tablecloth and napkins to little birds attached on a napkin ring, and arranging the centerpiece with flowers and foliage. It was tradition that delighted her, and in the later years, she loved to watch me perform this act. She sat in her chair and generously commented on my taste, good/bad of course, you know how mother's are. And so, when it came time to sort through all the goods from these days of tribal splendor, my heart was on my sleeve.

ON TOP OF MY GRIEF, I PICKED A WONDERFUL WOMAN TO HELP ME WITH THIS HUGE JOB OF SORTING OUT THE LEGACY OF MY MOTHER, AND SHE JUST TALKED ME INTO KEEPING ITEMS I MIGHT HAVE NOT! SERIOUSLY, YOU CANNOT RESIST THE URGE TO WRAP YOURSELF IN ALL THAT BEAUTIFUL LOVE... I KEPT MANY THINGS I COULDN'T BEAR TO PART WITH.  THAT'S HOW IT GOES.    
CHELLE'S GRADUATION   
FAST FORWARD TO PRESENT DAY, WHERE ALL THOSE BOXES HAVE BEEN DELIVERED, STORED OR UNPACKED. I DID PRETTY WELL IN THE BEGINNING, BUT WHEN IT CAME TOTHE LINENS, MAYBE ANOTHER STORY: IT WAS ONE OF THOSE HUGE JOBS YOU SAVE FOR ANOTHER DAY. YOU KNOW THE ONES? IT ALL CAME OUT HELTER SKELTER, PLACED RAPIDLY IN PILES AND SHOVED TOGETHER. WHEN DID THERE GET TO BE SO MUCH? I AVOIDED THOSE SHELVES UNTIL I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING, AND THE GODS OF HOUSEKEEPING WERE UPON ME. LAST SUNDAY MORNING, I OPENED THE DOORS AND DOVE IN.
 
OF COURSE, IT WAS A HUGE JOB, AND REQUIRED A STOIC PATIENCE NOT COMMON FOR ME. BUT THE PAYOFF WAS IN THE TOUCH, THE FEEL, THE MEMORIES OF MY LIFE. I LOOKED AT MY GRANDMOTHER'S BEAUTIFUL FRAGILE WHITE LINENS, AND TOWELS EMBROIDERED WITH THE FAMILY NAME. I HELD THE SHEER CLOTHS AND TREASURES OF MY MOTHER'S LIFE, I REMEMBERED SO MANY THINGS. I WAS LOST IN THE DREAMS OF MY LIFE AND EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS SO PRECIOUS. I FELT EVERYONE AROUND ME, SMILING. MY FAMILY IS STILL THERE, WRAPPED IN RIBBONS AND LAVENDER. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS OPEN THE DOORS AND TOUCH THEM!
