One of my earliest memories is of my grandmother’s Royal Albert dish set piled high with sage dressing— a family recipe passed down for generations. I cherish the memories of enjoying a meal on top of my grandmother’s gold-rimmed plates, adorned with delicate pink roses. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays; it’s a time when my family gathers to both celebrate our blessings and consider the ways in which we can bless others.
Living on my own this year, I will take on the daunting task of making my grandmother’s dressing. As I invite my friends to gather at my table, I hope to pay homage to my grandmother’s table with a dish set of my own. I have been blessed with a new job and a new home, and this year I will pass on my good fortune by purchasing my holiday dish set at the Within Reach Resale Shop.
By shopping at Within Reach, my purchase will go towards blessing REACH of Haywood County—a nonprofit that serves victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and elder abuse. Within Reach Resale Shop is an affordable option to bring elegance to my Thanksgiving table. After the holidays are over, I can re-donate my dish set and more to Within Reach Resale Shop (456 Hazelwood Ave in Waynesville).
Consider Within Reach Resale Shop this year when shopping for your holiday wares. We’re having a sale Nov 5 – 23 with 30% off tableware and your purchase will contribute to the life-saving work of REACH of Haywood.
