Thursday Tea





Blessings to you! Won't you spend some time slowing down a tad so we can unwind and relax before the week-end soon comes. This past week I was fortunate to go to an out of town SURPRISE 25th Wedding Anniversary Celebration in Wichita, Kansas. My baby brother and his bride were pleasantly surprised as we had a PARTY for them. It was wonderful. A time to visit and see loved ones from a far. Next day, we watched a small town Kick Off Parade for the County Fair. Taking a day of vacation, my hubby finished section 2 of 8 on the house roof. Hallelujah!!! When he finishes this huge task before the snow blows...we're gonna celebrate and praise God. Between the heat and the rain, it's been a challenge.
I've posted this cup, saucer and teapot in June. Hope you'll excuse the repeat, but I am running way behind on getting new pics of newer cups and saucers to post. Feeling a little sentimental, so I'm using classic white HUTSCHENREUTHER cups and saucers from Germany along with this replica teapot from good 'ole Wichita, Kansas's Historical Cowtown Mercantile Store.
I promise I won't interrupt...what would you like to talk about? Plenty of your choice of tea to sip on and what ever your heart desires finger food. How's that for hospitality?
I was hoping we could thumb through some of my cookbooks and come up with something fun to prepare for the week-end feast. Got any ideas?


Mrs. White from thelegacyofhome.blogspot.com shared a statement that I liked. After asking for permission, here's what she said, "My soul is soothed, my heart is joyful and I can move on with ministering to my family."
Thank you for stopping by. I sure enjoy our visits.

Thanks for the calmness and relaxed atmosphere of your spot of tea. I am marveling in the good of the Lord today, knowing He is always with them. I have give my two daughters over to God's care. One in the divorce situation and the one that is ill. Both situations came to me so suddenly it is like being blinded by an oncoming car. Thanks for your gentle words and kindness to get me to this point. You are a blessing

Tea with you is great anytime!

Thanks for putting the picture of our pretty red Hibiscus on your sidebar. That plant was such a surprise when it popped up last summer. The blossom is awesome.

After the roofing is done we will go "hunting" for more treasures so you won't run out of material to blog about.

Love you,

I love having tea with you. Today can we just sit in quiet and enjoy the sounds of nature. I am so tired from the heat that I just need a tall glass of iced tea and shared silence.

Deanna,

I am finally able to get back to blogging and enjoy a cup of tea with you (I had to go to the shop for a while today:). I think we should really splurge on the food and have some chocolate eclairs with Earl Grey tea. Yummy!

To answer your question-my banner pic was taken in the library:).

Thanks for the tea and eclairs!

Blessings,

Kim

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.”

through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

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
