Memorial Day T'scape...A few hrs left til Memorial Day!
Comments (11)Jeanne, your table is just lovely! The centerpiece is perfect, simple but so eye-catching. And you know that I love the addition of all the white bunnies (and tea pot). I am a firm believer that bunnies go with any and all holidays. LOL. Probably cause my house is overrun with the non-real kind. And none of those in the yard causing mischief, thanks to my life as a city dweller. Sorry I'm late to all the Memorial celebrations. And I never did get out my decor either. I'm going to give myself one more chance...4th of July...and if it stays packed again this year (be two in a row), then it will have to go. New rule I'm trying to enforce, stuff can NOT stay packed several years without seeing the light of day. I need to let someone else enjoy it if I can't. Anyway, I definitely enjoyed seeing your pretty things and am so glad you decorated for "us" here. ;o) hugs, Karen...See MoreNeed Memory Jog...old toy name

Comments (20)In the 19th century when middle and lower classes in English society were able to go to the seaside by rail, it was easy to make a day trip. However, the sturdy leather boots they wore seemed out of place, so people began to wear simple canvas "sand shoes" (aha, Annette!) instead. The New Liverpool Rubber Co. created a canvas shoe with a rubber sole and a band which held the two parts together. As TM said, a plimsoll line is marked on boats to indicate a safe-water mark for ships entering a harbor and people began referring to these shows as "plimsolls." They looked like our basic tennis shoes. They were affordable and popular. They were also quite versatile as they were adapted for croquet and lawn tennis and also became used by explorers and the military. Apparently, even the doomed Captain Robert F. Scott had a pair with him. They were found with his remains, although why he thought he would need them in Antarctica is beyond me. Vulcanization of rubber made the manufacture of these shoes cheaper and faster. For several decades, the manufacturers made their own versions of the casual shoes with different names. In 1916, however, they consolidated under the brand name of Keds. The term "sneakers" for these shoes came about when Harry Nelson McKinney, an advertising agent, noted that the shoes were virtually silent due to their rubber soles! So there you have it. Four stars for you all. Thanks for playing and have a marvelous week. Cynthia...See MorePls jog my memory
Comments (5)The flower buds and blow-balls visible in the top make me think Lactuca but this is not a plant I've seen before. Maybe it is something like Lactuca biennis, https://www.minnesotawildflowers.info/flower/tall-blue-lettuce FataMorgana...See Morephoggie
