Harvest Tea For Two



Welcome to Home Haven.
I'm so glad that you are here for a Harvest Tea.
With the Kitchen torn up and the Diningroom looking like a warehouse, that doesn't have to stop us from having fellowship. It's a personal victory to be able to post!
Somedays I need all the help I can get. So off we go with a Tea Kit in hand. My Tablescape will be on the coffee table. Please join me and tell me about your Autumn plans before the snow blows and Santa comes to Town.






I'm using a self contained "TEA FOR TWO" kit that I had on the shelf. Two black and white HARBOR EAST Let Us Entertain You! cups and saucers, tea bags, tea strainer, tea cookies, candies and a black and white box. Just about all you need for a Harvest Tea for two.
























Add some quiet background music and place some pretty little dishes on the coffee table to hold the tea bags, cookies and candy. Don't forget the napkins, spoons, cream and sugar. Add the tea and pour some hot water in the cups. Sit back and chat. That's what it's all about.

It's so nice outside. What if we were to take a tray outside and sit on the front porch? Okay...here goes.













Thank you for visiting! I'm so glad you didn't have to rush off. May you have a Blessed day. Think I'll go ahead and stay awhile longer on the porch.
Enjoyed your visit and the chat.
God Bless you real good,
~Deanna~

Deanna-We can all use a little quiet time on the porch. I love those little white pumpkins! Thanks for stopping by and your sweet comments. I HAD to have that crib--I only wish I knew its history--oh well, I hope my family will write some new history for it :)

Thank you for popping over and writing such a nice long letter about the toddler stages and potty training!!!! Camdyn is 16 months old tomorrow, so we are waiting awhile on it!!! But like you said 2- 2/12 is perfect!!! Next summer will be warm for potty training, then she can wear just a pull up or training pants!!! Probably pullups!!!!
Yes, I agree about the candy rewards!!!! Works wonders!!!!!
I and WE will be starting a time out spot soon, as she is beginning to show some independence and throws what she doesn't want!!!! And some minor temper tantrums!!! Oh my!!!!!
oh well, part of growing up!!!!!Time outs that is!!!!!
hugs honey,
jamie

Love the tea kit. Thank-you for having me over to visit and share a spot of tea. Obviously you're a gracious hostess even when your kitchen is being worked on. Coffee tables are a nice place to gather round and share fellowship anyway!

Hi Sweet D!

I have to agree with Michelle, that last picture is perfection indeed. Actually I would call that art! Would make a very nice framed print to hang.

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.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare

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
