she likes all the old things her home looks like this now with tea cosies and hot water bottles she does not own a dish washer still hangs clothes on the line makes her own food yummy
I love the poem, the love of old things, and the pictures. It would be adorable to have rooms and treasures like that. I remember all the doilies, teacups and saucers of my grandma's day. She used to have tea parties, where the ladies came to her modest little wartime cottage in their finest dresses, wearing hats and gloves. Sigh. Lovely.
We are closing our house, have moved to senior living. (Shouldn't 92 year olders?) Folk are gobbling up our old items. Loved your tale of this old timers'.
"she likes all the old things" Great choice of form for the tea, doilies, and hot water bottles. Hand washing and cooking makes everyday lovely. I miss many sweet old things I gave away while downsizing.

This is a cute and warm poem that lights up the heart instantly. "she does not own a dish washer / still hangs clothes on the line..." Me too. Smiles.
