Vintage Tablescape Thursday



Welcome to HomeHaven...Thrilled you've stopped by!



My Childhood was sweet. I remember making Mud Pies and climbing trees.
I would have loved playing with these pretty children's dishes. Think I'll start collecting vintage toys and dishes now...grins.



If you know me very well you know that I go in phases of collecting this
and then collecting that.




These dishes for Tablescape Thursday are from
the Little Girl's Room inside
the 1870's Ward-Meade Mansion of Topeka, Kansas
from the Historic OLD PRAIRIE TOWN site.




To see more of the Little Girl's Room where these dishes are displayed, scroll down to my previous post. If you check my HomeHaven archives there are more posts about the Historic Ward-Meade Mansion as well.







Please join the Tablescape Thursday party Hosted by Susan from www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com








THANK YOU, SUSAN...It is always a treat!







Vintage Blessings to you,



~Deanna~

Oh Deanna, Those children's toy dishes are wonderful. My Mom has a set of 1940's Fiesta and she saved my 1960 melamine. I think those tiny relpicas are just too cute.

What a lovely table! I'm hoping, the upcoming Holidays to use our dining room and good dishes. We never seem to get that far even though the food is always delicious.
Hope you have a wonderful week, Deanna.

Why is it that we are all drawn to those things that are smaller...children's dishes are so special. They just don't make them like that anymore.

Hi Deanna,

Lovely post and brought back happy memories making mudpies and climbing trees, and building huts.
The dishes are really precious and love the old doll and the little shoes.
Hope that you are feeling better.

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
