I can feel that warm washcloth as you describe, and the strong and loving hands - sometimes I needed a sleeve pushed up and a scrubbing up to the elbow!

I love your stories about childhood and your grandmother. I wish I could see all three of them together, in person; I know I would be very tempted to touch that silk! I hope you are planning to have a show of all these pieces related to the past. It would be great!Sharmon Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857659019638341374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779511481868469607.post-82866396406353739222013-07-20T19:44:53.841-07:002013-07-20T19:44:53.841-07:00Your description of this everyday ritual was a rem...Your description of this everyday ritual was a reminder of deeper things. I've never had the pleasure of passing the pitcher and basin, but the simple task of washing before sitting at the table does just as you say, a way to prepare for the coming together - your piece is beautiful and I have learned so much in your exploration! xoJeane Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027843717050683473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779511481868469607.post-38855553297136254482013-07-20T16:36:12.945-07:002013-07-20T16:36:12.945-07:00Art is sacred, and you prove it with your beautifu...Art is sacred, and you prove it with your beautiful work and dedication.

Knowing this makes your 'Simple Blessings' even more beautiful.
