As I thought upon the message I wanted to give with our theme "Bloom Where You Are Planted"...besides that of planting God's Word...was also the PEACE and REST that comes after the seed has taken root. I pictured a virtuous woman in her field wearing a lovely garden hat with basket on her arm...choosing the most beautiful of her garden to share with others.
I post a list of items needed for decorating and the little touches begin to take place...perfectly. One person brought the hat..another the basket with flowers...my apron..and our church nursery rocker! The "little" touches are what make each luncheon so unique.
In the photo below... I was so surprised to walk in Walmart one day and find the exact drink dispenser I had been DREAMING of and there it was...perfectly etched with FLOWERS!
I purchase the plastic tablecloths from the infamous Dollar Store! This year we also used pastel solids underneath. The yellow was actually quite bright..but underneath the lace it was...YES, Perfect!
These lovely dishcloths filled the little white buckets...representing flowers.
These were hand crocheted with 100% cotton yarn.
Buckets purchased from Michael's...found in the bridal and baby shower section.
I purchase doilies for the table settings and serving tables from various places. Depending on the size needed and price.
I was afraid at first I had too much going on with all the colors...but once it all came together...
It made a HAPPY...CHEERFUL...Ladies Spring Luncheon!

Everything looked absolutely perfect! In fact, your idea is what we are using for our ladies tea in two weeks...so many of your ideas are being incorporated into ours.
Thank you so much for inspiring me to go for it:)

Beautiful! You have such a talent for decorating!
Now this is a finding from God, I too am a KJV site, and I have not seen your site til today, and my post yesterday was Bloom where you are planted, and it was more about my being obedient to God than other things. God is so good and I feel he has directed my path to you. God bless you as you serve him. Please stop by and visit me, I have really enjoyed your site, and will follow you now dear too.
Lots of Hugs, Barbara from
