Welcome to Dining On The Prairie. Over the Labor Day Week-end, my Husband and I went to Mister Shaw's 1849 THE TOWER GROVE HOUSE at the Saint Louis, Missouri Botanical Gardens with our Son, Daughter~in~law and Lil Guy.
I could have stayed all day and into the next week.
Imagine staying at Mister Shaw's COUNTRY HOME, walking through the fragrant gardens and then dining in the evening
in this quiet room.
There's also a large Formal Dining Room. More on that later.

Sharing antique Blue Flow Dishes with The Blue Willow Pattern will be my Tablescape
presentation today.
The lovely dishes sat on a antique table cloth.
A sight for sore eyes and hungry belly.
Above the main windows in the room was a very pretty Stained Glass Window with little color. It would be after I took some photos that I noticed the red and blue. It must have been the lighting to where I didn't see the additional color.
I really liked the cut glass patterns in this window.
In this nice small Dining Room
everything looked inviting and lovely.
Mister Shaw originally dined in the Basement until it got too damp and began to smell. He moved his dining experience into this back room. Healthy choice.
Thank you for making my day by joining me to see the pretties.
God richly bless you with wonderful dining,
~Deanna~

I am such a fan of flow blue dinnerware. I've been tempted on two occasions to purchase nearly complete sets for a really great price...but still a more than I'd spend for something I don't need. Really enjoyed our photos!
WOWZA! My family was in STL this weekend, too! My husband grew up there and when we visit I loooove to go on drives to admire all the beautiful historic homes! I am anxious to find out more about this place- looks lovely!
Your photos are fantastic!

A beautiful table but then I adore blue and white . . .I've never been there but sometime would like to go.
Love the blue dishes! Thanks for sharing.Your home is lovely.
Such pretty dishes! And the window was just lovely! And I like the little table in front of the other window that showed the garden too.
Isn't it fun to tour mansions? I have been in several here in America and also castles and mansions in England.
However I can never picture myself living there. To me, my house is Home Sweet Home and I am so content here. (But they are fun to tour and see how other people lived.)
Have a blessed day!
Love, Linda
Those floe blue dishes are absolutely beautiful.
Wow-it's all so beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing such a lovely place!

HI SWEET D!!!
I need to mention this place to my MOM, maybe she would drive the 55 miles to St. Louis and see this, she would sure enjoy this place. What a treat for sure.
Loved those blue dishes!!!

I just found your blog and enjoyed your tour so much. I've been to St. Louis many times but didn't know about this place. I'll have to go there next time I'm in Missouri.

Soooo glad you all stopped by!!!
I do like touring historical houses. Really do.
Looks like the temps here in Kansas will start cooling down and this will be welcomed. When I was at Saint Louis, the temps cooled on the day we toured the Gardens. Rained some. It was heavenly.
Heavenly.
God bless,
