Table for one

Table settings can be art. Depending on where you start.
Head of the table or mid way. Set the table like Jesus say
Faith at the head and peace too. While humbleness and love comfort the new.
Family and friends that stop by to share. Some wholesome type stories with special care.
Then joy and laughter touches the heart as forgiveness and repentance make a new start.
By offering up prayer all around and blessing the food before they chow down.
To do this mealtime gathering, to feast and feed their souls.
as the host set the table with Christ in control of this table like setting that is art.

Poem by: Theresa Lavonne Baltimore

As most of you know I was born with a lacking love of the color orange. I created a rustic neutral flea market table setting by collecting some items around my home I've had. In all honesty I still don't know what I bought this screen door for. It was only $3 at a flea market and it has a useful beauty like no other piece of furniture. Can you image what years this was used? and on what structure it was used? How many times it slammed shut on cool fall nights with the owners on the front porch swings starring at the stars.

I set this screen door on top of 2 small columns. I painted the small orange pumpkins the kids and I just picked for the pumpkin patch. I painted 3 a grayish pink and the other 3 a light tan color. I draped vintage jewelry over the pumpkins. Set in true woman style. You have to have the sun sparkling of some crystal clear glass and some shimmering diamonds don't hurt.

This week I feel a strong message coming to me from life that is pushing me harder to jump out of my comfort/lazy zone and create some wonderful things. I think of it as the feeling of being loved by everyone in the world. Well how would you feel if everyone in the world loved you? I would feel like no matter what kind of crazy abstract things I could think of they would be well recieved. So I'm going to hold back less. With what I say in conversations like not hesitating in going to church because I don't want to say the wrong things or whether it's photographing or blogging.
