Today's Tea Time



I cannot wait to chat with you! Spice Tea and Wedgwood China today. Which would you prefer, basically all white cup and saucer with blue decoration or the other way around? Basically blue with white decoration?


Once again my favorite Thrift Shop didn't let me down. I was thrilled to find this fine china comfortably priced and just waiting for this HomeHaven Shopper to take it home. Just couldn't wait to share this with you and see how Spice Tea taste from these cups. What 'cha think?





What a beautiful Autumn we have had. Halloween Week-end the temperatures were so pleasant it added to the pleasure of being able to leave the heat off in the house. The windows were open part of the time.





How was your week? Mine was very eventful...Just a few days ago, we made a trip to Oklahoma for the birth of a Grandson! Here's a few pics. What a bunch of sweeties.




Blessings. Just wait. More pictures to grace my blog for sure!!!





More Tea? Now for the Candy Bar Story.
It may seem like a little thing to many, but I completed a goal last week-end. For years I had wanted to give out full size candy bars to Trick-or-Treaters. So I did this year. I have some left over. Would you like one?





Which candy bar would you pick?

Butterfinger

Herseys

Herseys with Almonds

Reeses

KitKat

Baby Ruth

Crunch

100 Grand
SURVEY SAYS?
We had a very nice and enjoyable Halloween. Hubby and I sat in our front Parlor and waited for the Treating to begin.



I'm so glad you took time out of your busy day to say hey. Thank you for chatting with me.
I love this time to slow down and relax with a warm cup of tea or coffee. May you have a great week and refreshing week-end. Think I'll get busy and take some more pictures to showcase. If ever we needed a place to relax and call home, it's now.
I enjoy your company!!! You are a Blessing. Thank you for being my friend.
God Bless you,
~Deanna~


P.S. Got any plans for Thanksgiving?

Good Morning! I'll take 100 Grand. We celebrated the 100th day of school when I was teaching First Grade and that was a favorite treat to hand out. On Halloween there was the big mansion in Fort Morgan that always handed out the big candy bars. Maybe you remember visiting it that one Halloween you were there. I'll have some of the SWEET grandchildren, too!! They are cuties.

Dd,

I think my pick of the candy bars would be the Butterfinger. Has been one of my favorites since I was young boy and we would to to the little grocery store in Hickock. It smelled of bananas and had dark wooden floors. I would take my two nickels, one would be to buy the candy bar, and the other would go in the old Coke machine, pull hard on the lever, and pull out an ice cold 6 oz Coca-cola. What a treat for a 6 year old on a hot summer day. Then I would go out an pick up bottle caps out of the drive way as my mother finished her shopping. The grocer would throw the bottle caps from the machine out into the gravel drive way. Must have figured it would fill in the ruts or something.

Well here I am rambling on, the Spice Tea was great and the Wedgewood tea cups are exquisite. I learned about the Wedgewood Pottery in college art class, but until had not actually seen any.

Thanks for sharing.

Butterfinger, please -- but the BEST part of this post were the pictures of the little ones. Oh how adorable!!! that baby! I am speechless.

Of course, the Wedgwood is beautiful, too --- but for me, give me a baby any day. And a Butterfinger, too, please. (wink)

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
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.

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
