• A Christmas Tea Tablescape

    Today I’m joining up with Layla at The Lettered Cottage.  We’re supposed to show some type of Table Decor for the holidays.  Well I kind of misunderstood and was thinking it just meant tablescapes. I got my Christmas tea set out that my mother gave me several years ago.  She purchased it from Spiegal.  (Are they still around?) They’re so delicate and have such a bright crisp pattern that I love.     d   Tea Time! Hot tea, shortbread, cucumber sandwiches… Mmmm… sounds warming!  The temperature outside right now is 29°F.   Sending you some warm Christmas Cheer. Linking up with: Romance on a Dime 

  • A Biblical Theme

    Since we were having our first youth Bible study at our house last week, I thought I would try to put a Bible themed centerpiece together for our breakfast table.  I’m not sure if I succeeded or if it looks like it’s time to go caroling. The little village church was started by me and finished by my mother several years ago.  I placed a quote of Bro. William Branham’s beside it, reminding us all to read our Bible every day. Red goblets would be so pretty with these dishes.  Anyone know of a good source for these kinds of things at a reasonable price?  I would want 12.

  • A Christmas Tablescape

    I had fun putting this one together.  It’s my usual simple style but I think it looks very Christmassy.  This is pretty much how out table will look for our Christmas dinner except that I will be setting a table for 20. This picture was taken without a flash. My apologies for the poor quality. This centerpiece I put together using a silver tray I had on hand (got this idea from another blogger but can’t remember who- never would have thought of it).  I found garland for 75% off at Goodwill, the cranberries from Salvation Army, candles and flower from Wal-Mart.  I am totally pleased with how it turned…
