| I have always wanted an antique looking lantern, so used my 40% off coupon at Hobby Lobby and bought myself an early birthday present.... so I could fix up with a pretty bow and garland and use it on the Desert Table, of course! |
 |
| I decided to try making three large Pedestal, or candlestick arrangements for the "Speaker's Table" instead of using traditional vases |
 |
| This arrangement was in the center, with the other two on each end of the table. |
 |
| This is how the "Speaker's Table" looked from across the Gym |

When I saw the gorgeous purple table cloths my Pastor's Wife had purchased... I could see them in my mind, paired with a "funky green" color and a mix of light and dark purples and sparkley gold.....
I made 25 small arrangements... (will share pix later) and three large pedestal arrangements.... I am tired but it was such fun!
I felt so blessed to be able to contribute something that I can "do" so that it might add a little bit of joy to the ladies attending the retreat.....
And what an awesome Retreat! God's Prescence was so Real and so Powerful! I was blessed and strengthened... and I know others were too...I'm so thankful my Pastor's Wife has a burden for Ladies.....
The tables are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteOH how I missed being there this year!!! But had an awesome time investing into my daughter's spiritual/teenage experience. Love you and so glad that everything turned out so well at the Retreat. :)
Dear Jenni,
ReplyDeleteOh how I love the color purple and your arrangements are amazing. Wow, love them. You did a wonderful job. Thank you for visiting two of my posts, yes my daughter just loves orange and it has made a big difference at her home. I did find some treasures at the sale, my goodness so many sellers had items for $1. could not believe it. Blessings, Lu

Hi Jenni! This week will definitely go better. I prayed for some answers and they were answered. Sometimes you have to raise your hands to the Lord and have him take over for you. All I can do is work to make me a better person, I can't change anyone else. Thank you for all your words of encouragement and help this past week, your a wonderful friend :o) I love that color purple! you did such a nice job on all the centerpieces, If I could be half as crafty as you I would be smiling big. Have a great week my friend! Hugs Jennifer
