Seasonal Shuffle

Dear Friend...Hope your day is going well.
At the beginning of Spring, there was much seasonal cleaning that I had hoped would get completed...alot of shuffling took place. Pleased about the shuffle! My Blue Garland dishes have been housed in different locations over the years. Right now they are resting inside an old oak china cabinet that was given to me when my parents downsized from a 3 bedroom bungalow to a 2 bedroom apartment.

The dishes have been in my different houses for along time. The storage places have changed, but the dishes still delight me.

I'm enjoying displaying them in this cabinet.






Recently this 'God Bless Our Home' was hung to the left of the cabinet along with this wooden item.



A little crystal lamp sits atop the cabinet. Before the shuffle the cabinet was in the Parlour and dolls were in it. I like the dolls in the cabinet, but springtime called and I needed to switch the curios that were in the Diningroom and put them in the Parlour. China cabinet shuffled to the Diningroom. It's originally a Diningroom piece and that's where I needed it to be.
All in a days work...the cabinet sits in her rightful place with Blue Garland China in her.
HomeHaven just wouldn't be the same without all my dishes and nic nacs.
God Bless,
~Deanna~

I like the way the dishes are displayed! Is the "Home Sweet Home" cross stitched? What was the wooden item on the wall made for? Very nice, and now you're getting the Spring Shuffling done, yay!

Hi Kathy, Good to hear from you!
The God Bless Our Home picture is a print under glass. I'm not 100% what the wooden item is...think it was used as a magazine holder, out going mail or for sheet music. Maybe someome will help me out with this.

The dishes and cabinet are just lovely! Your home is just full of beautiful old pieces, they make me smile....
I have the very same print under glass, with the exception I had a moss green matting placed around the print, to show off the writing a little better.
A lovely shuffle !

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.”

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
