Mrs. Ralph Rees, Med Hobbies
Hardly a bride in southern Holt
County and many other places in
side tin.' state find out. who does
n’t know Mrs. Ralph Rees of
Amelia.
Whetlier the bride be only in
the contemplative stage or cele
brating 50 years of wedded to
getherness, the wedding cake is
a part of the plan. So they con
fer with Mrs. Rees. This con
ference leads to a Culinary mas
terpiece that reflects the roman
tic tastes of the star of the mat
rimonial production.
Cake decorating that started as
a hobby about seven yerr3 ago
when she and Mr. Rees retired
from ranching has now ahnest
got out of hand. It is a pains-ta
king time-core uming business. The
results are fabulous. Imagination
and orginality are the two best
ingredients she uses.
“I have had no formal lessons.”
says Mrs. Rees. “I just bought
some books, attended a demon
stration or two and started in.”
Her largest production to date
is a four tier giant that served
300 guests at a Golden Wedding
anniversary The most unusiual
was the exact replica of a six!
house used in the gala event of
an old timer's birthday.
What many people do not know
abe4.it Mrs. Rees is that she is
; an ardent collector erf old china
and glass. She has many beauti
ful and interesting pieces. Many
brides who have boasted of the
originality of their wedding cake
have been priviledged to use her
crystal candle sticks and old sal
ver server ns accessories.
Mrs. Rees has a many and var
ied button collection. Not a hun
■
dred but hundreds of buttons fn m
all over the U. S and foreign
countries They are sorted, label
ed and fastened to cards for easy
handling
This versatile lady has another
facet of interest. She has revived
the almost forgotten art of knit
ting. Ctnter pieces almost as gos
samer as spider webs are products
of her skill.
“Which hobby do you enjoy
most?” We asked. Surprisingly
enough she answered, “Going
iishmg with my husband!"
