Aunt Emily’s Revenge
Posted by Lidian on September 15, 2008
Indeed, what a charming young lady! If I was an elderly relative with antique furniture, I’d be panting to give it to this pouting ingrate. Not.
She is so charming, in fact, that Aunt Emily is busy rewriting her will.
And Cousin Alice? She wants her Empire Secretary back (after all, it’s so hard to find a good secretary these days! Alice thinks it even takes dictation).
As for dear old Uncle Gerald, he’s been a bit lacquered himself these days. But when he snaps out of it, I think he might reconsider who’s going to inherit his chinoiserie.
And Aunt Emily, who’s been demoted to sofahood?
She’ll be leaving the family fortune to those white elephants. They make good pets if you have a big enough mansion, she always says.
Ad from 1968 McCall’s.

eeeww I don’t know what you’d call the carpet, I think I’d call it grass becuase it looks like my back yard.

OH! I’ll take Aunt Emily’s sofa! I have my grandmother’s rose colored “parlor” chair designed for the very short and my mother’s buffet which was handmade WITHOUT ANY NAILS…all pegged…and signed by the artisan! I LOVE antiques! Just dropped in to say “hi” via Entrecard.

Oh my goodness gracious. When I first looked at the ad, I thought she was laying in a grave! LOL!
