I did take pictures of some of the other tables from the luncheon.

Some of the ladies use disposable dishes/flatware/gasses.

My Mom has hinted that they are very nice for clean up, but I just tell her its not going to happen!

I am going to post more in a later post as I don't know how many pictures will post at one time.

More pix!

The room is set up with a crisscross of long tables in the center for the salads with the round tables then located in each of the quadrants created by the crisscross. It is hard to believe how many different types of salad there are!! The women's ministry provides the rolls, tea, lemonade, and coffee.

The room is amazing with all of the different tables and about 200 ladies attending!

TTFN,

Okay, just talking through my hat here ... While the base seems to be original Wiliam IV, I'm not so sure about the top. I wonder if what you have is a married piece, made up of parts from two or three other tables. Here's my reasoning: The base has good, thick veneer and parallel saw marks, and looks very typical of the style. It's pegged, or at least has plugs over the screws. The nice bun feet are true to William IV. But tables of this era didn't have a turned plate for the connection between the top and column -- at least not that I've seen. The joint would usually look quite a bit more structural, kind of like the interior of a house wall, with bracing and brackets, etc., to keep it stable. I wonder if the column and turned plate came from another piece, possible a candle stand. The top has a shape consistent with the base, but the way the skirt is attached doesn't look right. I would not expect to see exposed screws here, but rather a glued joint with blocks behind it. I also think the skirt would be a little deeper. Could this be the top from another table, cut down to mimic the shape of the base, and with a skirt added? Whether this is the case or not, it is certainly a lovely piece. I agree with calliope: Get it to an appraiser. And not just someone who deals in antiques, but someone who knows furniture from this period.

Betty, you just showed WHY we've all missed you so much... your photos, your stories, your sense of humor, your Alfred. I'm so glad you are back. He's just the sweetest man and you are so lucky to have him. And getting those pretty Peace ornaments for him was very special. Your tablesetting is beautiful, ALL of it. Those dishes are to die for. I mean I am seriously loving them! And like Jeanne said, they were meant for you to find. (but be careful showing Jeanne anything with pines, LOL. She's like Luvs and her acorns.) As for Christmas stuff during the summer months.. BRING IT ON. That really helps me deal with our 100 degree days and think good thoughts. hugs, Karen

Thank you, holiday-ers! ladypat...yes, I wish that t'cloth could talk! Can you imagine? (on someone's table 70 or 75 yrs ago!) phonegirl...working woman...you're up & fixin' ...this is the first time I've used placemats on counter...we're all just a bunch of Enablers R Us! (mmmm, pretzel & broccoli salad sounds good!) jane & luvs...too funny about our ceramics! I loved it! & it was an evening with "adults" ...good memories, too. Thanks for the compliments...while the greenware was wet, my teacher taught how to "lift up" those feathers with a tool & then it was fired or whatever before painting. PM...that turkey was the TJMaxx 50% off ...so $6.50 that I got just recently...remember, I think it was YOUR doings that brought it to my home! LOL! Thanks! oak...I started collecting Jewel Tea in mid 90's ... because I got a few pcs at MIL's estate sale...the hunt has been fun & my china closet is full...altho there's lots more out there! OA...cringe! Red wine! LOL! Everytime I put it on the table I kind of "blank" it out of my mind...my kids don't know the value...but the value is just "using" it! My DS broke a glass a couple yrs ago & now he won't drink out of Jewel Tea glasses! LOL! They make fun of my dish addict syndrome, I think! Jeanne S. ok, I must get off here & peel potatoes! :-)

OK, I just had lunch (leftover butternut squash and leftover green beans), but I really want that beef. No, I want the chocolate cake, LOL. I love the way you presented that soup, Kathleen, and your table settings are always lovely but I really like that elegant black and white stuff. Just beautiful. Annie

What a special event -- the tables are all gorgeous! How fun!

I have to ask.... are those jalapeno slices on top of the deviled eggs?! whoa... I never thought of that but it sounds GREAT! :)

Jane, I look forward to it every year. I also own a set of the Radko plates that are in the last picture.

PM, yes they are jalapenos! I am such a gringa that I cannot handle anything above mild, so I picked the pepper off of mine. Later on I licked my finger.....Holy Cow! I was tearing up and my throat was burning!
But if you are a fan of hot, I'm sure it is a great flavor. I can't taste any flavor, I just taste HOT! Ouch!

Happy Thanksgiving,
Candy

Oh...this must be such a great time for all the ladies who attend & all that prepare for this event! Blessings!

I also love the tables...so many ideas ... that 'green' Santa theme struck me as I browsed ~~such a deep dark green & the plates & Santa's are striking!!

The open-book (Bible?) w/the butterfly is a beautiful idea for the centerpc on another table ~~ & the 'mesh' like material for chair backs on another ...

Oh, I could go on & on ...but just the wonderful colors & richness of Christmas ... love it ..the golds, reds, silvers, blues & greens .... glorious! TFS, candy! Jeanne S.

Thanks Nana & Jeanne. Yes, that is a Bible and the red & green on the chairs was tulle. The lady who decorated the dark green Santa table has beautiful tables every year.
She has a bit more pocket change than the rest of us, LOL.

Christine, there are so many gorgeous tables, it is truly a room full of eye candy. My tables are in the first post, "Home for the Holidays Ladies Luncheon."

Candy, thanks for sharing more of the wonderful tables with us. I love to look! I have a few of these same dishes(Nikko & Radko) and very similar snow dishes. Always fun to see how others accessorize with them.

What a beautiful event. You should be so proud to be in charge
of this.

Definitely going to use the "Ditto" on these. The other gals used up all the good words. And I'm lazy. :o)

I love the first table with just the red and white, and then the 3rd table with the hunter green. I probably shouldn't admit it to all of you, but I am just not a fan of the traditional red and green Christmas colors. My preference has always been burgundy and hunter green tho I know its not that popular like the traditional colors.
However, all the tables look wonderful and festive, and a lot of work went into this event.

YOUR Mom.....suggesting paper plates? Are you sure she's related to you? LOL.
(and I'm with you on hot stuff. NO way!)

hugs, K
