About the Book - Blue Plate Special |
||||||
Finally a book featuring all the Littauer ladies! Lauren Littauer Briggs, Marita Littauer and Florence Littauer worked together to create this wonderfully inspiring book to help families recognize and appreciate their own heritage and build a sense of security and belonging. They have skillfully combined their own personal stories, anecdotes from others and poignant vignettes--including some special recipes scattered throughout. The combination is a book that is both profound and sentimental that will reinforce appreciation of "family" while giving concrete ideas for turning the ordinary into special memories and begin family traditions. Making the Blue Plate Special is a perfect gift for newlyweds and young families. Yet, it will also be an encouragement for the more mature family and the woman who enjoys family record keeping, scrapbooking and genealogy. Lauren is shown to the right with the actual blue plate from the book, Making the Blue Plate Special. Holding several clearly aged items in her hand, Lauren Littauer Briggs asks her audience, "What is the difference between these items and similar ones you might find in an antique store?" Our items have a story that connects them to us while those in the antique store are just pretty things. While they may have a history, it is not your history. It is not the item, but the story that makes it special. In order to keep your history alive, however, you need to tell the story, otherwise your precious treasures will end up in an antique store for someone else to purchase. |
