"Do not underestimate the power of your home, nor its ability to
change lives," writes designer Roxanne Hughes Packham. "A cup of hot
tea and an hour in a cozy nook spent listening to a friend can be
life-altering. "Sending well-loved, cared for children into the world to
contribute to our society in positive meaningful ways is one of the most
significant contributions, if not the most significant contribution, you will
ever make, and your home is a major part of this endeavor.
This book is difficult to review, but I will say that the photography is
top-notch. There are quotations by famous and not-so-famous people, thoughts by
Hannah and Roxanne, and lots of inspiration.
100% of the profits of this book will go to charity.
Ms. Packham is the granddaughter of Allan Adler, noted American
silversmith, and great granddaughter of Porter George Blanchard, also known as
"silversmith to the stars", Packham's history and knowledge of silver
and flair for table settings prove to be a winning combo.
Also included in the book are essays, ideas for parties, and special occassions
for teenage girls, mothers and others. It could be a help in celebrating
friends & friendship. Inspirational for incorporating family history,
talents, and passions into the design of the family home.
