"Edith From Guy"
Xmas - 1898
It's just a silver plated brides basket. The handles have long since been lost.
The hand-engraved flowers, swirls, and leaves are beautiful.
Scratched into the surface we see that on Christmas in 1898
a woman named Edith received this gift from Guy.
I don't know who Edith is, and I don't know what part of the country
she and Guy resided in. But, every Christmas, I polish this tray,
and wish Edith (where ever you are) a happy holiday!
I wonder if this was a gift of a newly married couple,
or a gift for a newborn child,
maybe it was a 25th Christmas spent together gift,
hopefully, it was a gift
given by a man
to a woman he truly loved,
and received by a woman who truly loved her man!
Although, it's been said, many times, many ways....
Merry Christmas........ to you!
(Merry Christmas Edith........)
Happy Holidays
