Tea Time


Tea Time! Delicate Purple Violets decorate this china with a gold ban trim. Little is known about this cup/saucer because it's only marked E-960 on the bottom with a INARCO-Japan paper label. This delicate cup/saucer were a part of my mother's cup/saucer collection that sat in a china cabinet for years. The Collection would be auctioned off at my Parents' Down Sizing Sale a few years back. Mom and Dad now live in a small efficiency apartment which they are very pleased with. No yardwork or mechanical repairs to worry about. This cup and saucer will be given to my oldest son and daughter-in-law's estate in the near future. I want to hand deliver it to them. (So if you're reading this...you know the secret's out)
In the mean time we will be having VIRTUAL TEA and pretend there is enough for everyone.
I will be taking time out to sit, relax, think and pray. That's not virtual.
God Bless you this fine day and every day,
~Deanna~

It is beautiful. I like to see the purple since pink is usually so prevalent . Have a great weekend.

I'm sipping Earl Gray. What are you having? Care for a scone too? Oh, here, let me pass you one. How I do like our virtual tea! (What's even better is that I can eat all the tea cakes I want and not gain a pound--or expose you to my flu!)

The tea cup is just lovely. I do hope that you use it and think of your mom.

HI!!!
Love the delicate purple flowers, probably violets!!! MY Grandmother's name on my Dad's side, she outlived my Dad by over 15 years, how sad for her to loose 2 sons before her own death. She was truly a lovely violet.
Thanks for the tea!!!
love,
jamie

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

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
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
