Saying Goodbye To Autumn




~ALPHA THE S.P. CO. PORCELAIN~
Instantly liked the light brown and gold markings.

Being passionate about bargains, 
my hands quickly picked up a box of OLD DISHES when I saw them in a Thrift Store.   
$4.00 for the box of oldies but goodies.  Quickly I carried them to the check out.



   ~3 Different Sizes To Play With~


Hello and welcome to HomeHaven.
With Christmas fast approaching Autumn is a thing of the past.  
My little dishes are being packed up and put away for next season.

Being ill slowed me down 
and I didn't tablescape in November like I would have liked, 
but being a strong willed woman caused me to go ahead and post before the snow blows.
The sound of jingle bells is being heard.

So with that said, I'll tablescape 
with these lil ole dishes and make it simple.

Brown tablecloth, charger, old dishes, drinking glasses that are on hand, everyday silverware,
some vintage napkins with my Autumn Centerpiece on the table makes
for a quick and simple Tablescape.

God bless you as we enter into the Holiday Season 
of Christmas and New Years.

Warmly Yours,
~Deanna~










Thank you for visiting my place.
Nice to hear how things are going with you!

Participating with Tablescape Thursday.
So many beautiful tables to see and admire.  
 Please visit Susan's http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com

Blow out the candle.  Time to put away Autumn 
and SPLASH my Home Haven with Christmas Spirit.

Where did Autumn go?... and so quickly. Was just getting used to the leaves starting to fall and the mornings getting cooler, and long shadows....and here we are getting ready for Christmas.

I better get moving and get Stonehaven decorated for the holidays, or I'll be looking at Christmas Past.

Enjoyed the warm browns and golds. Great find on the dishes.

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
