Tea On Thursday

TABLESCAPE THURSDAY and TEA ON THURSDAY are holding hands today. I didn't want to not have Tea On Thursday because of a new adventure as I participate with Tablescape Thursday. If you're stopping by for Tablescape, WELCOME to my blog and please scroll to the next post...there you'll find my first Tablescape.

I had so much fun with this. Thank you for checking it out. If you'd like to have a spot of tea here first, that'd be just fine! BELOVED, It's about time for me to take a break and have some refreshing tea. Won't you please join me?
We're sipping our Earl Grey Tea out of black and white stripped HARBOR EAST China that I purchased from a Discount Store's After Christmas Clearance Sale. What a nice treat. The cup and saucer came in a black and white gift box with candies and small cookies. Already for a time to share with someone special. The cookies/candy are long gone, but the tea set is good to go.

My sweet daughter smiles on as we enjoy tea on the porch in the pleasant weather. The tea is hot, but today the Kansas breeze isn't. Hurray. I know the really hot weather is just a day or two away.
It's so nice to see you. How have you been? Too busy? I understand...I really need this break! Awe, more please.
Blessings to you always,
~D~

I am so glad I stopped for tea and got to meet your beautiful daughter to top it off. You social butterfly you. Tea here, tablescape there, isn't it great. Come on by and we will listen to the waterfall and have some tea too. I ordered my new favorite Licorice Spice from www.stashtea.com. My friend Marilyn introduced me to it last week, but we could not find it anywhere in town. You should give it a try. I like herbal tea late at night. Blessings.

Dear QMM,
I'd love to come by and listen to the waterfall while trying some of your new favorite Licorice Spice Tea as we visited.
This tea sounds awesome. Please tell Marilyn hello for me and did she get to become a new blogger yet?

There's just something so peaceful about the sound of a waterfall. I'd love this.

Blessings to you,
~D~

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
