About Art nouveau and its influence on table
linen design
Along with the newfound prosperity of the
beginning of the twentieth century came enormous
changes. One of the areas that saw dramatic
change was the visual arts, including
architecture. The 1900 Worlds Fair in Paris was
the backdrop for the unveiling of many of these
new styles. A new generation of artists and
designers, both brilliant and lively, developed
art nouveau, which literally translates into new
art. They believed in creating total works of
art by having all the different art forms work
in harmony. This meant that everything would
work together, including homes, furniture, and
the textiles used within that home including
table
linens.

About distilled water
Distilled water is the purest, safest drinking
water of all. You've seen movies where someone
delivering a baby or performing emergency
surgery yells, "Boil some water!" Water
distillers boil water into steam to precipitate
harmful contaminants and eliminate them from the
water. The steam cools and condenses into water
that is 99 percent pure. The pollutants,
including chlorine, lead, arsenic, bacteria, and
parasites, are left behind as a residue. Water
from your distiller is clean, fresh, and tasty.
