Homemakers hear discussion of value of their antiques
The Tignall Homemakers had been asked to bring antiques to the November meeting for antique dealer Charlotte Poss to evaluate. These ranged from such treasures as a miniature chest, glassware, plates, vases, pitchers, a cutglass compote, hatpins in holders, a book, a bracelet, a glass rolling pin, to a replica of George Washington's axe with which he is reputed to have cut down the cherry tree. Members were very interested in Mrs. Poss' discussion on the history of each and her estimate of its value.
The president, Celeste Adams, reported that the club had had a successful day at the Tignall Festival and thanked all who had contributed to this, especially Pat Mack who had supplied the quilt and its lining.
Members decided to enter a truck in the Tignall Christmas Parade. Billie Carroll offered the use of her son's truck and Becky Dixon volunteered her yard as a base for the team who will decorate it.
The December meeting will be held at the home of Sally and John Kennedy. Members are asked to bring food and a gift for bingo.
Paula Butts and Jackie Long served refreshments with a colorful Thanksgiving theme.
Those present were Celeste Adams, Sophia Bamford, Linda Burns, Paula Butts, Billie Carroll, Becky Dixon, Louise Harper, Sara Frances Henderson, Sally Kennedy, Edna Lamar, Jackie Long, Pat Mack, Edna Rhodes, Marilyn Summerlin, Genevieve Thurmond, Sharon Vreeland, Mary Webster, Joan Baker, and a guest, Lois Sanders.
