Welcome to Marvelously Well-Mannered. We are two generations of family who think life is best enjoyed when filled with social graces, good taste, elegance, humor and an abundance of fun.
At the heart of this type of lifestyle are marvelous manners, knowing the rules of etiquette and possessing a certain savoir vivre - a knowledge of the rules of polite society. The rules of etiquette give you confidence in any situation and when you aren't worrying about which fork is yours or how to do a proper introduction you can focus on what is really important, your family, your friends, your guests. Those who are marvelously well-mannered have the ability to do or say the right or graceful thing all the time, and treat loved ones and strangers alike, with a kindness of spirit.
We share Marvelously Well-Mannered with you to help you develop and refine your own social graces and good taste.
An important part of being marvelously well-mannered is being marvelously well-decorated - making your home - whatever and wherever it is - a place that is pleasing to the eye and inviting to your family and guests.
Likewise, an important part of being marvelously well-mannered is being marvelously well-entertaining. Learning the art of entertaining will enable you, your family, and your guests to truly enjoy each other.
You don't need money to possess social graces and have good taste. Indeed, sometimes "money talks, and it can make horrible sounds." You just need to make the deliberate choice of aspiring to choose well in all aspects of your life.
We hope you enjoy Marvelously Well-Mannered as much as we do. Enjoy!
