Festival of Tables

Today the women of our church are celebrating our first ever Festival of Tables.  I have to admit I had not really heard of one when they first started talking about it, but it is really turning out to be quite an event.  And the response has been great!  I was up yesterday afternoon helping in the kitchen – decorating a table is not my forte, but I can make a mean pan of jello.  Most of the tables were already decorated.  Here are a couple.

The Charlie Brown Christmas Table, decorated by Cat Cockman & her daughter Robin Peyton.  One of my favorite things about being there while folks were working on the tables was hearing the stories behind every single item they were using.

This was one of my favorite – “Family Heritage”.  Linda Montgomery decorated it using her grandmother’s china.  I especially loved the linens she used.  I think I heard someone say something on the table was over a hundred years old.  Absolutely beautiful.  I’m looking forward to the event today!get-attachment
