I hook rugs, I knit and I have a life - not always in that order. Hooking rugs in the traditional way is a passion. Knitting is a way of keeping those idle hands busy. In my life, I am a mother, partner, sister,aunt, friend and a happy grammy. I work with volunteers and seniors when I'm not doing those other things. I enjoy being creative - and often reinvent the wheel. Above all, I value things that are not only beautiful but useful.

Saturday scene
Place cards hanging around, waiting for a wedding.
The bride is Anne's niece and her new husband's family is Chinese. The symbols for the virtues indicated at which table each guest was seated for the dinner and reception. Hanging them was just a way to help the guests find their table and no tradition that I know. We tend to create a lot of our own ways of doing things. Especially when there are so many other traditions in the mixture of family heritages.
Who's the bride
ReplyDeleteTo guess I've tried..
Is the hanging up a Vancouver tradition? I love the virtues under the names.Would you dare to list vices too?
