Think this Childhood Tablescape is a winner
for setting a mood.
Delicate and tiny items to play with
would have made my heart sing as a child.
As an adult seeing the items placed in this room was a treat.
The Sunday afternoon we stopped by for a tour
was blistering hot outside so seeing this fine mansion was extra fun.
A very fine example of how a stately home
might have been decorated in that historical era.
Entertaining would improve and be enhanced by having
PROPER GUESTS PRESENT at your table.
Sitting pretty.
More to see in the room.
Take a peek at the details of this old fashioned playroom.
This is our Tour Guide, Molly standing in the beautiful Guest Room
that we decided to call "THE MOLLY SUITE."
Molly, THANK YOU for a wonderful tour of the HAWKEN HOUSE.
You were such a gracious and pleasant Docent.
We had a great time seeing the first landmark in the state of Missouri
to receive a Historic Preservation Grant from the Federal Government.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit! If we were to stay awhile in the CHILDHOOD BEDROOM
and played 'HAVE TEA WITH ME' we'd visit about days gone by and what we liked seeing in this lovely house filled with wonderful treasures. I know we would. We'd giggle and make memories.
Whatever you're going through, may it not be to where you forget to relish this PRESENT day of LIFE for it is a GIFT from God. Take a deep breath and relax. Unwind as we sip imaginary tea and munch on calorie free cookies that you can eat all you want because they're just soooooo good.
Hope you'll return and take a peek at some of the other beautiful rooms filled with eye candy that will be posted in the near future.
God Bless,

I especially liked the picture of the doll sitting near the table. It gave a better perspective of the size of the tea time dishes. It looks like a grand place to tour!♥♫
I enjoyed this post so much! A beautiful historic house and I love the little girl tea table, just lovely! I wish we lived in SIMPLER times..but than when I think hard about it, why we wouldn't have met each other my dearest blog friends like you!
Thanks for sharing,

What a sweet child's table, complete with embroidered cloth! The whole room is charming and would be fun to visit in person. I have just a few pieces of my childhood teaset -- probably not enough to set a table, but I do treasure them.
I would love to visit that house! Thanks for sharing the gorgeous pictures.

You know how to enjoy the little things in life. I appreciate your zest for life...and how you encourage others to stop and smell the roses!!!

Dear Deanna,
Beautiful post and love everything old. How sweet the little children's teaparty is. It must have been lovely looking around here.
