Item 25: 3 piece blue and white buffet topper (Laura first)

Item 24: 3 piece topper for buffet (Laura first)

This is another 3 piece hand embroidered set for Muriel's buffet. Aunt Amy says that her mother used this a lot on the buffet. Aunt Amy would like Laura to have first dibs on this because Laura has the buffet piece. I think Muriel embroidered this herself. Each piece has flowers in different colors. The central piece is slightly larger than the two side pieces.

Item 16: 3 oval toppers for buffet (Laura first)

These three oval toppers were embroidered by Muriel, according to Aunt Amy. The three are all the same shape, with embroidery in different patterns for the left and right sides. The center piece is slightly larger than the two side pieces. Aunt Amy would like Laura to have first refusal of this set because it was made for the buffet set that Laura has.

Item 15: 3 piece buffet table toppers (Laura first)

This is a 3 piece set of embroidered unbleached linen. There are 2 round toppers and a central rectangle with concave cut-outs. Aunt Amy suggested that this set should go to Laura first if she wants it for the buffet because Laura has Muriel and Vernon's dining room buffet. This set was made for that piece and Muriel always used these on top of that buffet. So we'll let Laura make a choice on this set first.
