The Thirty Third Tablescape Thrusday-Lonely Wives Luncheon

It's time for another Tablescape Thursday and Susan at Between Naps on the Porch is our gracious hostess. Be sure and visit Susan and check out the list of the other bloggers that participate and join in the fun yourself. Susan will explain how.

My niece lives in Germany with her husband and her three darling children. Her husband is in the military and like all military men he is very often deployed to other places and not home for many months at a time, so my niece, being the darling that she is, decided to get some of the other military wives, whose husbands are also away months at a time, together for a "lonely wives luncheon". You get the drift. Anyway, when I heard she was going to have this luncheon, I decided to send her some dishes that I had used for luncheons with my girlfriends and thought it would be a good time to pass them on, to be enjoyed by my niece and her friends. The flowers you see above were used for her centerpiece. Aren't they fabulous? I love all the colors.

The plates came in boxes of fours and each plate was a different color and had different scenes and phrases on them. The plate above says, I'm worth it. Others phrases said things like- All in a days work, etc., very appropriate for women whose husbands are serving our country. These women have made sacrafices too.

Look how beautifully my niece set the table. If you click on the photo you will see her spring Easter eggs hanging from her chandelier. At each place setting there was a little frame with a Bible verse for encouragement for each guest.
