Angel Day, Tree Of Life

13 years ago

Here's a little Angel table I put together with tree plates and leaf dishes. The salad plates are ones DD brought me. I will be heading up to DF's to put their storm windows in this morning. Hope you all have a wonderful Angel Day and enjoy my table.

OMgosh, punk! You certainly are an ANGEL ...posting this beautiful t'scape & helping DF with storm windows!

Love how this table is so "warm" & inviting with all the candlelight & your choice of colors, the shades of B&W's & silvers... Also love the darling angels that you've shared on each place setting & centerpc. Those "tree plates" are perfect for the angel decor. DD's salad plates are subtly charming with the flower decor. The crocheted t'cloth is lovely for this 'scape...oh, everything, I love everything...glassware, the Bible & "hope." TFS, pumk...I'm working on a table today, too. Jeanne S.
Oh, & forgot, love the pics! Especially, the HFTCS ("hanging from the ceiling shot"!) like Candy's. LOL!

What a day in the life of a gardener

You guys lost me at blow up air mattresses. Just kidding. LOL I think it would be fun to go nursery hopping and stay in a big cabin. If we had 8 people to go then we could rent a big cabin and it would be cheap by splitting up the cost. Or we could just say "bill it to Jolana"....BWAAAAAA There were some really cool nurseries near Austin and the towns around it. Jolana and I went one year and hit several of them. We even stopped for pie in a little town.

What a wonderful adventure ahead of you. For you and for Maggie. We raised our kids with a red heeler and now have a blue heeler. I was recently getting some medical care when therapy dogs came in, and one of the handlers told me that the therapy dog group has several heelers. She said they function very well as therapy dogs. It's something I'd love to try with my blue heeler - I think she would do very well as a therapy dog as she is very loving to people outside the family, which (in my experience) isn't always the case for a heeler. Heelers are wonderful, amazing dogs for the right owner and I think you will love your Maggie. I agree with gmatx that from now on you will always want a heeler around. They are very smart, very trainable, and must have a job to do. These dogs were born to work and to be helpful, and they do it very well. Our heelers have been very smart, very trainable, stubborn and sometimes with their own agenda as you say, vigilant and interested in everything about them, and to say they are loyal and devoted is a big understatement. They stick to us like glue and want to "help" with everything we do. When my son was in elementary school, our red heeler was "his" dog officially. We had never owned a heeler and didn't realize the extent of the devotion this breed has. We had to get booties for the dog because he would run alongside my son's bike until his paws were bloody and still keep going even then. We had to get a life preserver for him because he would stay out in the lake or ocean with my son until he (the dog) couldn't swim any longer and was in danger of drowning. Until we got the canine life preserver, one of us had to sit on the beach with the dog when he got tired and keep him from going out into the ocean with the rest of the family. Our precious red heeler that grew up with our kids was up for any adventure - kayaking, canoeing, sailing, swimming, frisbee, hiking, comfortable in crowds at fairs, flea markets, playgrounds, outdoor concerts. He wanted to do anything my son did, and one time he followed my son up a high dive and jumped in the lake off the high dive. Our beautiful blue heeler girl is shaping up to be the same way. Our male heeler only tolerated people who weren't family members or close friends. He didn't care whether other people petted him or noticed him or not. Our female heeler likes people outside the family. I wish you the best with your heeler. You and Maggie have a lot of lovely adventures ahead of you!

OK, everyone, send your kids to me, that barn will be cleaned in no time, LOL, and I won't charge you very much for the honor. (grin) Ellen, I can guarantee they'll get appropriately dirty. They probably won't smell very good either, but they'll learn about rinsing off in the horse tank, one of life's little known pleasures in the summer when it's about 85F. (The stock drink from the pond in the summer, and a 50 gallon horse tank makes a decent "swimming pool", or at least a wading/rinsing/cooling off pool). Sally, I don't have very big hands and I grew up milking, so I'm not sure hand size has much to do with it. :-) We had a couple of cows for "family milk", we didn't pasteurize or anything, we just drank it raw. I got up at 4 a.m. every day to milk, came home and showered, got on the bus for school. When I came home I milked again, had supper, did homework and went to bed so I could do it all over again the next day. Dad always did morning chores with me but I did evening chores before he got home from work. My sister hated the farm and the barns and had only "inside" chores. I hated housework (still do) and would far rather be mucking stalls than mopping floors. Michael, you're right, any kind of animal is an everyday job. It doesn't matter if you're sick or on vacation or if it's Christmas or your birthday, animals must be cared for. If you want to go away, you'd better line up reliable "help". Fortunately, Amanda and David are right across the street and Amanda will check Valentine and Suzy every day, make sure there's food and water, that the tank doesn't freeze. She'll check on Red Cow too, to make sure she doesn't have a calf early, and keep on eye on the horses to be sure the hay feeders are full. That's one of the reasons Elery isn't so keen on farming, it IS a 24/7 responsibility and keeps you pretty much at home, or close to home. Ashley's fine, although she did get her jeans dirty, LOL, Valentine's little hooves are still flexible, not even hard yet. In spite of the work and the responsibility and the expense, I love it. I want to plant blueberries and raspberries, a few more fruit trees. I think I'm going to raise a couple dozen ducks for the freezer and I'll be waiting for Valentine's "little sister" or brother. Hey, it keeps me off the streets, LOL. Annie

Thanks so much parker25mv! Looks like we're both on the same page. I'm not planning on planting them in the ground, and I agree that they're too dominant in LA right now. When I was trying to find a suitable screen plant I read through all of the ficus discussion on here and decided against them. Then these fell into my lap, which opens up budget for native CA plants elsewhere so I'm trying to make lemonade. I'll leave them in the half-barrels, but I'm also open to any suggestions to make them healthier. Root pruning has been suggested above, which I'm looking into now. Thanks!

Thanks Jeanne for all your sweet comments on my table. It doesn't compare to yours but it was fun to do. I couldn't resist snaping a shot standing on top of our bar in the kitchen.

Candy & Karen see what you've started! If you don't hear from me for awhile you'll know I probably fell off the bar getting down.LOL I don't drink much alcohol so it would be because I'm a klutz, Karen. Had to add that before you ask if I drink before taking photos or after.

Kathleen, thanks for the comment. I went and helped a dear friend. My dad is no longer with us.

Heavenly! This tablescape has such a "soft" feeling, Punk. The plate angel is sooooo sweet.

Be careful when you take those pictures or you're libel to get to heaven faster than you want!

Another lovely table Punk..
Your dishes are so pretty and your angles are adorable. I also like the color combination
you chose for this - with all the candles, crystal and the sliver touches it all looks so shimmery.
Your table cloth is beautiful too - nice choice.
This table fits you (a true angel) always thinking of others~

You are obviously your dear friends guardian angel!

I agree, this table is heavenly and every detail is perfect.

The countertop shot is fab.
I think we all are very bad influences on one another, LOL.

Before this forum, I never even considered hoarding, oops, I mean stockpiling dishes as I now am compelled to do because of all the enablers on here!! Grins

You sure earned your wings for helping your friend.

TFS,
Candy

Very pretty and I agree with everyone else's comments. Those little plate angels are so sweet, and I really like the candle holders too. Is that glitter on the tree plate? Looks like sparkly leaves. I laughed when I saw that overhead shot--knew that was Candy's influence! Glad you got down safely too. Luvs

Punk,
I forgot to say how much I like the placemats. Are they black and blue or black on black?

Punk, What a beautiful Table. You thought of everything. The tree of life plates and leaf salad plates compliment each other beautifully. I love the colors you chose. The angels are perfect, the one in the center holding the harp is my favorite. Your friend is lucky to have you! Be careful climbing on the counters,

OA, thanks, made me laugh, going to heaven faster than I want. The placemats are navy blue and a lighter blue shade that match the napkins. The first couple of pictures show the true colors.

Jane, the angels were DM and small so I've always kept them in her china cabinet. I used them last year on a candle holder for Christmas. Glad you liked my choice on the tablecloth. Thanks for all your comments. I still need alot of help with my tables so like hearing if somethings works or not.

Thanks for all your sweet comments, Candy. I think you are right but we are GOOD influences on each other, not Bad! We will all just have to be careful so we don't fly before our time.LOL

Luvs, the little sparklies are ones I bought to add a little glitz on my nail clients. I found them in the craft section years ago and they came in tubes like glitter in all shapes and colors. You know I bought several.LOL These are what I use in my salt cellars for my tables.

Karen, love your Picture. You come up with such cute ones that are so appropiate. I don't want to knock it off, I just learned a new trick from a friend and I've never played on top of the bar before.LOL

NanaK, glad you liked the center angel. It is irredescent, lights up and plays music. Don't know what song, I'll have to go listen. I think this might of been DM's also as I've had it for years.

Thanks again for all the comments. You are such a fun bunch. We will be going to watch DGD's game today so best get off here and play house for awhile.

Punk, I figured Candy couldn't have been on the roof and that your bar might not be quite high enough for some shots.
So that meant you and Candy would be hanging from the chandelier trying to get that "perfect table shot". LOL.

Your table is wonderful and I second what everyone else has said about it. I love the color scheme! I'm so glad you and Jeanne did Angel tables.
I'd hoped to play on this one but Life got in the way.
Maybe I will have better luck with one of the other Oct
days.

hugs, Karen

Karen, your so funny. So your saying us "Girls Were Just A Swinging?" You do have a way of enabling, honey and it was fun to put a table together for this.

After hearing about Jane, you need to slow down and take care of yourself too. I'm always worried about you and now I can worry about Jane too. I hope you feel good enough to do a table this month, but Do Take Care of yourself.

Kathleen, no problem. Sorry to hear about you losing your dad at such a young age. He must of been to special to stay here with us. So you've had a "Guardian Angel" for years. Please feel free to tell me what I could change to make my tables more appealing anytime. I don't always have the right items but I'm getting so many dishes that it's hard to find places for all of them! Who do I sound like?LOL

Thanks Karen and Kathleen for your comments.

Love the table and the combination of the blue & white with the silver . . . very pretty! Your dishes work wonderfully with this soft angel theme.
