Welcome...The 100th 'Tablescape Thursday' is being celebrated over at Susan's www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ and I wanted to participate this week because I think of 100 as being a milestone and what fun this will be!
Perhaps we can sit on the pink sofa and Mrs. Meade will join us as she tells us just how things are these days.
Since I love Historical things... my tablescape is one from pictures I took at Topeka's OLD PRAIRIE TOWN a few weeks ago when I toured the 1870 Ward-Meade Mansion.
The house was so beautifully decorated that I could have just moved right in...but I don't think they'd appreciate me being there all the time.
These pleasantly displayed dishes and refreshments are on a table in the Day Room which is off of the Formal Parlour. Hope you enjoy yourself as we chit chat and get to know one another better in a more relaxed atmosphere.
I hope to post more interior pictures of the Ward-Meade Mansion in the near future.
So with that all said..."WELCOME to HomeHaven's Tablescape!"
So glad you've stopped by! Hope you'll leave a comment.
God Bless you and may you have a sweet week.

Deanna, thanks for taking us along to the Ward-Meade Mansion. ~ sarah
I love these little glimpses into life past, how people used the same things we use today. Thanks for sharing.
What fun to get to see this! I saw so many things in the house I love including the rocking horse and the wicker buggy. SO cute! And I love the pretty table set for tea.
Happy Tablescape Thursday!
XO,

This Prairie Town sounds like a place I'd like to visit! Maybe when LT and I retire! Lovely pics of a lovely place!
Can you imagine having tea in that beautiful mansion! It is fun to see a peak at the past!

I just love looking at glimpses into what life was like long ago. It is so easy to thinki about all the ways we are the same, instead of all the ways we are different. How fun to see a tablescape too!
Don't you bet that we would have been wearing hats and gloves as we shared a bite in the Ward =-Meade Mansion? They appreciated the value of stopping to share a bite with friends and family. We have many lessons to learn from history. Thank you for sharing your journey. Cherry Kay
Thank you for dropping in on our backyard. Your comments made me smile. I love that you shared this beautiful setting. OOOh that table cover is simply divine!
Lovely! I love glimpses of days gone by...Thanks for the tour.
Hugs,

Deanna,
what a nice idea to share this table of the Ward-Meade Mansion. This tablescape with the old teaset and some bisquits looks so familar as if it was in my family's house. Thank you for sharing this.
Greetings, Johanna
I would have wanted to move right in myself!!! Beautiful...thanks for sharing the pictures. What a great place to visit; I'm sure it was very interesting.
what fun to see thosephotos!
It is so much fun to see how things "used to be" when taking one of these tours. Our hostess appears to be a bit stern in her portrait! It looks like such a beautiful place.

What a nice place for a sip of tea.
Oh wonderful! I love to go to places like these and feel like I've stepped back in time. Thanks for sharing your trip. Hope all is well with you - know it's been a crazy ride for you lately. Sending warmest thoughts and hugs.
I love places like this! If I could go back in time I would be a frequent visitor. Thanks for the visit!!
Deanna, such a beautiful tablescape in a beautiful home. Thanks for sharing it for our 100th TT. You are in my prayers.
Love to you,
Susan
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. It was so nice to visit your blog and see some of the Kansas I left behind! I lived some 20 years in the OP area, and have been in TX 3 years. I MISS my Kansas! May God be with you.
