July Blessings to you from HomeHaven. Appreciate you visiting me today. It's raining again. Your presence has cheered me up! Hi there.
Even though it's a rainy week here on the Kansas Prairies using soft colors for my Tablescape was a pleasant task. I've liked birds since I was a little girl. I use to like to draw stick birds...made me smile. These days when the birds are chirping outside the familyroom window, it relaxes my soul.
An old quilt with soft colors, several kinds of birds perched, plus Humming Birds etched on the glass plates and stemware with birdhouses nested on the table. Bright spring green napkins and plates found their way to the table. Topeka's own Marion Lane Candles burns for a sweet scent of KANSAS RAIN. (http://www.marionlanecandles.com/)
And if you can imagine...there's a CD playing of birds chirping along with classical music. How 'tweet' the sound! Music to my ears.
Chilled Cranberry Pomegranate Juice to quinch your thirst.
Revived by Pepper Jack and mild Colby Cheese Slices on miniature Cheese and Chicken Flavored Snack Crackers, Broccoli, Baby Carrots, Grapes and Crushed Pineapple.
Nothing heavy.
Green Olives for a salty punch and sweetened Bread 'n Butter Pickles for crunch.
The pineapple came as a surprise...thought the container had apple sauce in it, but when I dipped a chicken flavored snack cracker into it and tasted a sweet cracker... it was a nice accident. I'd do it again.
This Tablescape will be participating on Tablescape Thursday found on www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com that's Hosted by Susan! Susan you're a sweetie for doing this...so many neat ideas.
May you have a pleasant day. Are you enjoying making your very own living space a Home? Hows about a HAVEN? Home makes my heart grow fonder.
Home...a Earthly Home...a Church Home...and then last put not least...a Heavenly Home...where there are no tears. Joy unspeakable.
God richly bless you,
~Deanna~

Nice refreshing and soft colors , easy on the eye and calming. I like the birds too and most things "birdy" in decorating.

Deanna, sorry for my mistake. But it was really meant for you: you made again a pretty tablescape. What a wonderfull and outstanding green color you have found with this plates. Yes, the grapes are exactly the same color. The whole bufffet looks great and yummy. You always make so pretty tables with creative ideas. This cute birdies are one of those.
Greetings, Johanna
What a delightful table! And the refreshments look delicious!
I never heard of a meat loaf contest! Here we have clam chowder competitions though!
I have to say that I love the home blessing that is at the top of your blog. The table looks so pretty with all the little birdies. I love the look of the grapes spilling out of the goblet.
Oh Deanna! This is gorgeous! I'm working on the garden walk Saturday, and I'm doing a tablesetting under the pergola (I wrote a big blog about it - so follow me over and check it out) and I'm looking for inspiration - of course, I knew I could come here and find tons! I'm loving the idea of the grapes so gracefully laid in the glass footed cup. It's lovely, and the color of the green with the other greens, it's so fresh and summery! GORGEOUS! So, don't be so surprised if you see that copied next week when I play in TT Thursday! :) Can't wait! Thank you so so so so much for the inspiration! :)
This certainly is a haven of a tablescape. Filled with beauty and thoughtful touches, your guest must have been thrilled!
Your celadon green plates are exquisite! And they look so beautiful with the rest of your place setting!
I think the food you chose is superb for this time of year. It all looks so lucious and refreshing. Especially the grapes in the stemmed glasses. Such a creative idea.
You made this lovely bird inspired table a real nest for your guests!
Yvonne

Hi there,
I just saw your comment on my blog and just thought I would come over to say well done!!
I did have my own weight loss blog but it became too hard to keep up.
Currently I have lost 70 pounds and have about 20-30 more to go.
Keep doing what you're doing, drink lots of water and keep moving!!
I suggest as well that you take a picture of yourself at the beginning of each week so you can see the improvements. And just remember to take small achievable goals that you can achieve, it didn't go in a month and it wont coem off that fast either. I have found there is no magic cure, it's just eating less fat and sugar, exercise and and lots of prayer :)
Keep going because you can do it!!!
Oh those green plates are just gorgeous !
What a beautiful table you have set, just delightful, I secretly envy your guests :)
I'm addicted to birhouses, small or large, workable or whimsical, I love yours on the table...
I feel I can taste that delicious spread, from here....Yum !
I love it! So cheery and welcoming!! Great job! Thanks for stopping by a dash of parsley!
Interesting and decorative table Deanna.
How I am longing for some rain. Drought here. 100 degrees in garden and 88 in house. Far too hot.
Thanks for your prayers.
I have quite a collection of birdhouses so you can be sure I enjoyed your tablescape.
