Festival of Tables...

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope you are all having a great week! I have tons of tablescapes to share with you today from the festival at my mother's church Saturday night. Let me add that not only do we set the table, we eat dinner  there also, so the "to-do" list is twice as long--not to mention the cleaning up! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My mother wanted to use her prized Morgantown ruby "Golf Ball" glasses, so I decided to use my Mikasa "Floral Elegance" bone china and the Wallace "Louvre" sterling flatware. She also wanted a Christmas feel, so off to the woods I went to gather greenery--in freezing cold and pouring snow, I might add.  Everything had to be packed, then assembled on-site. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNYXXVZP1Jmo52FWLSnOPE1XSsIgbcr9Q2rCd7OVO16Wc9VRY8qMS96fi0pvkKWInFhXde1dRsyBKWQLGn45oQXy-REObZthyphenhyphenLfJuWvJdvb4DqaOe6Y2i7R1vx8Q_o0RTzPUPOn9hMWw/s1600/Bethel18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNYXXVZP1Jmo52FWLSnOPE1XSsIgbcr9Q2rCd7OVO16Wc9VRY8qMS96fi0pvkKWInFhXde1dRsyBKWQLGn45oQXy-REObZthyphenhyphenLfJuWvJdvb4DqaOe6Y2i7R1vx8Q_o0RTzPUPOn9hMWw/s1600/Bethel18.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the silver Roma Sl Madrid goblets from my punch bowl set to place the name tags. I took a small square of oasis and filled it with greenery. I used the photo of the guest house in snow I posted previously for the place cards. I secured them into the oasis with a toothpick tied with a red ribbon. I just had to use the doilies:-)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The damask napkins are vintage and belonged to my great grandmother.

Then we found the vase was tall enough to talk around anyway. Per her request, I filled it with cranberries and loosely filled it with different varieties of greenery.  When my father saw the centerpiece, he jokingly said, "Isn't that overkill??" Then I looked around and thought he might just be right! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqXYFFAd_POJUcKVvATXbP_g7OblB10K_gE_illiw7yhGYGIVPURhO7mvtbNVzXaj0brPpZI1BoAQoHk8-BBuFFOrZVZdF7Xysi8BeRw9GIr3snzhtBLdD6Vv9mnbjfnJIoNYiOmmuxg/s1600/Bethel25.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqXYFFAd_POJUcKVvATXbP_g7OblB10K_gE_illiw7yhGYGIVPURhO7mvtbNVzXaj0brPpZI1BoAQoHk8-BBuFFOrZVZdF7Xysi8BeRw9GIr3snzhtBLdD6Vv9mnbjfnJIoNYiOmmuxg/s1600/Bethel25.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6SW8IGUMPLRUI9RwZyLDhel2HKhBJRRKsR8wN2_S8ywxN8ou7TMzG5mxE-WI1xfoIEw5BOxGWP8CxZY40WKitGCs7x4BjMnspIEgxn83UFvp_kwgfAVuBOSR20vQqDX-17Pp_JJQsXw/s1600/Bethel16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6SW8IGUMPLRUI9RwZyLDhel2HKhBJRRKsR8wN2_S8ywxN8ou7TMzG5mxE-WI1xfoIEw5BOxGWP8CxZY40WKitGCs7x4BjMnspIEgxn83UFvp_kwgfAVuBOSR20vQqDX-17Pp_JJQsXw/s1600/Bethel16.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We added the Cristal D'Arques "Longchamp" iced tea glass for the tea drinkers.

She has been posting some very helpful tips for planning holiday entertaining, so don't forget to look for those.<br /><br />As we enter this season of thanksgiving, please remember to pass along the tremendous blessings you have. For example, at our church, we used to have a Tuesday night Thanksgiving meal for church members. We have taken that and turned it into a free meal we feed to the community in need. Any leftover food is then donated to a local soup kitchen.  We combine that with a coat and blanket drive as winters here get pretty cold.<br /><br />There are so many opportunities to reach out in your own community. Please take those opportunities to be a blessing to someone in need:-)<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, and I WILL be by to visit you!! I'm hoping to get caught up on all your beautiful comments by this weekend!!<br /><br />Anita<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizQRcRrfClM5OXpq8aTeLwYlBTmP_TQZsEVCcRv9G9W-W6svXhmTrncAcPgwPWsnetCd1woSWcgQahBrXHK9y3BY17NgpRuefKWcCcG8EILsy86YlOs_4A7k-ZdsuF39FZUQ9MwWwf6Q/s1600/New_size_125_tall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="187" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizQRcRrfClM5OXpq8aTeLwYlBTmP_TQZsEVCcRv9G9W-W6svXhmTrncAcPgwPWsnetCd1woSWcgQahBrXHK9y3BY17NgpRuefKWcCcG8EILsy86YlOs_4A7k-ZdsuF39FZUQ9MwWwf6Q/s200/New_size_125_tall.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>

Mikasa "Italian Countryside" dinnerware...<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1tem0f6ME9zhVmaI2gQUWIZN3KMgEwQZQrjURTIddFITKCx9NE7OkThUgIwiCRUfbPsiIm9DG4uq4RHIJuzrh3NQXCVahv3l1hUQ-rUcjBJPDxVgdPDCz-90_GgvlwbcIP8_5cLBoWg/s1600/gold4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1tem0f6ME9zhVmaI2gQUWIZN3KMgEwQZQrjURTIddFITKCx9NE7OkThUgIwiCRUfbPsiIm9DG4uq4RHIJuzrh3NQXCVahv3l1hUQ-rUcjBJPDxVgdPDCz-90_GgvlwbcIP8_5cLBoWg/s1600/gold4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh51fWCGLeaKzonE1O_-EUDlSS2Oy6pHuyKDmkB3gE1SPsVC4Q3ArMiyxjii06ALdBMcC8iJmYq8Sm5p2WEDyfq5c8GdZ-gQjCjb341o4H_HU_u14d4UP2mrkusuN5fRs0d9a-B3WOb-A/s1600/Gold1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh51fWCGLeaKzonE1O_-EUDlSS2Oy6pHuyKDmkB3gE1SPsVC4Q3ArMiyxjii06ALdBMcC8iJmYq8Sm5p2WEDyfq5c8GdZ-gQjCjb341o4H_HU_u14d4UP2mrkusuN5fRs0d9a-B3WOb-A/s1600/Gold1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjTiTpYzY62MZ_cUoMmBi4-BmphLBax5Shyphenhyphent7NNk03_PEnOew0OmV971ijKzMjA5o68Mm8dHTDPh9x3O1j4YXzik1LMMk_Cy_u7wkqwGiQn8rRcaaqfpWQvMMLca9qa3qzslV_EpbDLg/s1600/gold7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjTiTpYzY62MZ_cUoMmBi4-BmphLBax5Shyphenhyphent7NNk03_PEnOew0OmV971ijKzMjA5o68Mm8dHTDPh9x3O1j4YXzik1LMMk_Cy_u7wkqwGiQn8rRcaaqfpWQvMMLca9qa3qzslV_EpbDLg/s640/gold7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwoqG2I0YxIpJ0qh7uZVG0juqNJ13NrZkjKzWpOJet4LybG8BJMSDnegegDkoMaoDeYQHzonL0u8ekkTcHYLKoWmw5vHtFZ9ruqZftILnzXE4fHztq2VhZnNKzqzN2-AGrua4OWrakcA/s1600/gold11title.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwoqG2I0YxIpJ0qh7uZVG0juqNJ13NrZkjKzWpOJet4LybG8BJMSDnegegDkoMaoDeYQHzonL0u8ekkTcHYLKoWmw5vHtFZ9ruqZftILnzXE4fHztq2VhZnNKzqzN2-AGrua4OWrakcA/s640/gold11title.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />This is probably my favorite table from last year! Inspired by the beautiful red Japanese maple leaves, I used leaf salad plates in different colors from Walmart along with Mikasa "Italian Countryside" dinnerware. Rattan chargers and napkins are from Walmart and are combined again with Wallace "Louvre" sterling flatware. Amber and ruby glassware as well as beaded candle holders are from Pier One.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSe9hn3KoQ9RnrBVVDPVkynmfZOuVcN3BmDMMg1p0ROx_kjwTMDrwod_lJkQWaEkkNe2IIGccrJGZP0Sw_SMOQ1mVyMvKWZ1b3vybJwL8kvW9rXzjNmJh4MaPgRSw0INVLHEdbgrtg7w/s1600/redandgold2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSe9hn3KoQ9RnrBVVDPVkynmfZOuVcN3BmDMMg1p0ROx_kjwTMDrwod_lJkQWaEkkNe2IIGccrJGZP0Sw_SMOQ1mVyMvKWZ1b3vybJwL8kvW9rXzjNmJh4MaPgRSw0INVLHEdbgrtg7w/s640/redandgold2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaMD_O3h3J7UT87NvEN_REaFBPyDGTL2F54_UGqMJwjA6f3pmaZydctQBoHTJ34SmpMDN3R-j7s20_Z-X4gqmupuBrstXnmSdQVjcxhvo0_lerREZ1p7rw1nbepxSpVt-ST8SLcnnHlA/s1600/redandgold15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaMD_O3h3J7UT87NvEN_REaFBPyDGTL2F54_UGqMJwjA6f3pmaZydctQBoHTJ34SmpMDN3R-j7s20_Z-X4gqmupuBrstXnmSdQVjcxhvo0_lerREZ1p7rw1nbepxSpVt-ST8SLcnnHlA/s640/redandgold15.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNk18wuoGwPG2Uuj-Wxnp4gZr_hoNNHDilhxNTH5PUaF0ObNbR_dK_AuvHPWue_gbf3iXWnRZP4Nnh_-QByL4z2oJMjPXmcc-pvqJotaWUYCB08Muqv6t-3DYsbKjb6sXpko_zyjcYyg/s1600/redandgold21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNk18wuoGwPG2Uuj-Wxnp4gZr_hoNNHDilhxNTH5PUaF0ObNbR_dK_AuvHPWue_gbf3iXWnRZP4Nnh_-QByL4z2oJMjPXmcc-pvqJotaWUYCB08Muqv6t-3DYsbKjb6sXpko_zyjcYyg/s640/redandgold21.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_mnsVeW7-M8gLOLJLMM_DyWgijMdSenB0qQj5W6J5jF15U4wqBFDmo0DCKSCcE8yFAPVa-yMK7CBG-MQQ2VHZ70odydWoLtGa5ciThuNLS-b4rXxxyeaNmZiB_2C7b8donyNZvJIH9A/s1600/redandgold3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_mnsVeW7-M8gLOLJLMM_DyWgijMdSenB0qQj5W6J5jF15U4wqBFDmo0DCKSCcE8yFAPVa-yMK7CBG-MQQ2VHZ70odydWoLtGa5ciThuNLS-b4rXxxyeaNmZiB_2C7b8donyNZvJIH9A/s640/redandgold3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />And finally, just to show that blue and white goes with every season, another favorite table combines Churchill "Blue Willow" with pieces I collected in Japan including the rice bowls, saki cups, tea set and chopsticks. Blue goblets are from...Walmart! I really do love this combination of the reds and golds with blue. I used the same napkins and chargers from Walmart as the table above, but with a totally different result.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRwgM1mvdcEDqut8J4jLxLJYE727_71v7fuQ-MOV5oArpuJkIgI6nruhIwW1w8M3zr0xdQ__MXD3uwdtQf9H86QkAqCGJaUiVjzo-vvawNFK32z8q3nL2KeVnA-QEkdb7zqu4xIBAVjg/s1600/blue1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRwgM1mvdcEDqut8J4jLxLJYE727_71v7fuQ-MOV5oArpuJkIgI6nruhIwW1w8M3zr0xdQ__MXD3uwdtQf9H86QkAqCGJaUiVjzo-vvawNFK32z8q3nL2KeVnA-QEkdb7zqu4xIBAVjg/s640/blue1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5k9sw3oYQ7y8hiHeP8NPaPGfL7U5aVL7CCIOH1XsYbrSWHHRDIe5i9gs_3KAJbtxntW2P_9VNR5aRXsi1X0wL3OKkw25g62PbSlgPG2D8pd3RFekcHMQr9AwDKSf_eeM17_OW2LMoaQ/s1600/blue10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="438" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5k9sw3oYQ7y8hiHeP8NPaPGfL7U5aVL7CCIOH1XsYbrSWHHRDIe5i9gs_3KAJbtxntW2P_9VNR5aRXsi1X0wL3OKkw25g62PbSlgPG2D8pd3RFekcHMQr9AwDKSf_eeM17_OW2LMoaQ/s640/blue10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQkVwL_nxKwaeYRf9hV6go_rZOv9XUWbmRKK01lJuO_RROTMaWIZ7keikAXKfOXYDws6wWXaSru9lwrp0pH3Zj0D2-e36tiCndg2ZkmjrbJJpwqebRGLDV3xkoBuyHq6lIoTCi3WzGfA/s1600/blue6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQkVwL_nxKwaeYRf9hV6go_rZOv9XUWbmRKK01lJuO_RROTMaWIZ7keikAXKfOXYDws6wWXaSru9lwrp0pH3Zj0D2-e36tiCndg2ZkmjrbJJpwqebRGLDV3xkoBuyHq6lIoTCi3WzGfA/s640/blue6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />So there you have some of my favorite tables from last fall using a lot of the same elements in each with very different looks. You have so many options if you just take what you have, borrow a few things from mom, and cut some weeds from the yard. Voila...a beautiful table:-)<br /><br />Don't keep it for yourself, though! Share your blessings because "when someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required." From Luke 12:48.<br /><br />Let me encourage you during this season to look outside your own family. We take care of our families all year long, so what a great opportunity for our families to get together and take those blessings and spread them around to others:-)<br /><br />Thank you SO much for stopping by:-) Please join Susan at <a href="http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/">"Tablescape Thursday"</a> and be sure to visit her participants and the many, many beautiful tables. Have a blessed week!!<br /><br />Anita<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVHfD41PQ3NXAKYDL5bfNSYC-Fbe41Gz_9GaJeZIKSeAEPr-CHq7xalAdKowDhLlVCGWJ4jzT-QSb9nux-48aI0DELgGkgS-bogY5EFPrEoNAlfUl_Kf-YbqWoi6OY7WTEu5ZmKyZiFA/s1600/New_size_125_tall-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="187" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVHfD41PQ3NXAKYDL5bfNSYC-Fbe41Gz_9GaJeZIKSeAEPr-CHq7xalAdKowDhLlVCGWJ4jzT-QSb9nux-48aI0DELgGkgS-bogY5EFPrEoNAlfUl_Kf-YbqWoi6OY7WTEu5ZmKyZiFA/s200/New_size_125_tall-1.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>
