TABLESCAPE THURSDAY AUG. 6TH



Welcome to Home Haven as we celebrate Tablescape Thursday.
Hosted by Susan at Betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com.

Very quickly I assembled this table for one on the front lawn of my home as I was excited to be a part of Susan's 50th Tablescape Thursday.

A green and white floral Quilt lays atop my metal bistro table.
Clear glass dishes sit on a doily resting on a silver plated serving tray along with silverware to both sides of the dishes.
The utensils are National Stainless.
A clear wine glass holds a vintage linen napkin.
I regret that I didn't photograph the dishes while being held up to light so you could see the decoration in the them which look like flowers.

AND HAVE YOU NO SHAME...Naked Ladies dared to show up for this event! It's a good thing my husband was too busy roofing the house to join us...grins. The Naked Ladies are a type of flower that's in the Historical Museum Reproduction Crystal Vase.

Imagine this:
Fresh Brewed Iced Peach Tea with actual peaches in the glass.
Mixed Garden Salad drizzled with Green Goddess Dressing served with Multi-grained Crackers for starters.
Cold Mixed Fruit to the side.
Chicken Salad Sandwich made with a soft Cressant Roll.
White Angel Food Cake iced with Almond flavored Frosting for dessert.

Aren't we blessed to live in a country that has abundance in table services, foods and material things like a bistro set, quilts, dishes, etc.? I believe we are very blessed.

Thank you for Stopping by.
Delighted that you are here to view my tablescape, I'm honored by your presence.

God richly BLESS you,
~Deanna~

Wow, did you ever do a great job on that mosaic. I cannot get my Big Huge Lab to work.
I loved that tablescape also. I saw some paper plates that would make a good summer picnic scape. Thanks for all your visits and comments. Hope things are going good for you.

The menu sounds scrumptious and the table settings are lovely. Table settings for one, pretty sweet. You know, my Hubby will cook for himself , arrange and garnish his plate with flair. I think that shows a real appreciation for the bounty we have , and sometimes, when dieting is necessary, garnishing our plates makes the meal a bit more special and fulfilling.

That was a lovely table setting, what a beautiful evening it was.

You didn't tell me you were inviting Naked Ladies to your tablescape, I might have put off the roofing for that! :) They are such a pretty flower. Glad they took after I transplanted them last summer.

Beautiful setting and photos.

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."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
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
