Ladies Luncheon...creative theme tables

ROYALTY
This is one of my favorites!!! A lot of handwork went into these decorations!!! The gold trim on the deep purple runner, the beads...the velvet covered napkin rings with decorations. Looked sooo Royal!! and they chose REAL gold trimmed china!

Each table had a small gift for each setting.... it could be anything, from a use able item to a tasty treat


Since this is the first time ALL the ladies helped decorate...I gave them little tips and some things for their tables of my own. Over the years they have learned the many aspects of putting together an event. This year was their time to SHINE..and they certainly did!!!

MEMORIES
This is the table I decorated. I collected a few items from some of our group. The books are written by various Preachers from the 1800's!! On loan from our Pastor's wife...the glasses of Ms. Betty. The antique perfume bottle..my thrifty find (remember?)


The teapot lid sitting next to the teapot...is a miniature version with the word ANTIQUE written on the front.




The ladies sitting at this table represented the aged women (from 86 yrs. old - 56 yrs. old -me! ;)....
and the old paths that we have kept according to the WORD OF GOD!


Some of us at this table have been together for over 30 years. We have encouraged one another to be faithful, to keep the OLD PATHS...and to be an example to our younger women.
If you recall the luncheon of the BROWN BETTY teapot...Ms. Betty was seated at this table and in the photo display.


ORIENTAL

I loaned this group my tea set and dolls sent to me from Okinawa, Japan. I loved how their little gift bags matched the colors in the doll kimono.




MUSIC

Each table prepared a decorative way to show the Bible verse that matched the table theme...this one done by one of our teens!



SEASHORE


The teapot on this table was embellished with painted artwork by one of our ladies in this group! TALENT!! It was such a joy to see the little bits of personal touch and desire to make it so SPECIAL!

I loved the plates on this table with the shell napkin rings! One of the gals in this group was in the NAVY in her single days!! She would bring a van load of sailors to church with her and many got SAVED!!! A nice memory of her ministry to others!!



SUMMERTIME




This one was so cute with ladybugs and watermelon!! One of the ladies, took the time to cut a real watermelon into a basket filled with melon balls. The napkins were punched with a cute design...Great idea! and even watermelon lolly pops (their table gift)
