Pictures of the Shower (plus tease for 100th post)




Welcome friends, !!I finally gathered some pictures from the luncheon.This is the 'party' room my parents built 35 years ago, it will hold a lot of people.  If those walls could talk!  This is how it looked when you entered to the Bridesmaid Luncheon.  
One of the things I was most proud of was the chicken salad filled bread cones.  They turned out so pretty and tasty.  Using Miss Janice's recommendation  I also made cheese straws, pimento cheese  sandwiches. 

Just another look at the buffet.

Fruit Salad, cucumber sandwiches garnished with home grown dill. Ham roll ups rounded out the menu.
This is my greatest achievement.  It is a charm cake using a recipe from Lick the Bowl Good.
There are hydrangeas on the top with avocado colored ribbon tied to each charm.  We rigged it so the bride
would pull the baby carriage charm!  LOL

Everyone having a grand time.



The beautiful bride, her momma and me!
I could never have done it without the help and encouragement of so many.  It is
a memory that I will treasure always for a beautiful young woman whom I adore.



Friends,  can you believe this is my 100th post?   My husband's darling daughter is making 3 incredible
bejeweled mirrors to give three readers.  Details to follow.  Thank you so much for reading and leaving any comments!  Now to plan a baby shower for my other sweetie on August 1st!

You are Invited!



Welcome friends, I have been talking about it for months and finally I gave the bridesmaid luncheon. I think it turned out beautifully. Before I share about the luncheon with you I have to thank some wonderful folks. One of my favorite blogs ever is Gordon Gossip.If you have an hour or two , check it out.  She has so many cool things.  She has been emailing me for weeks with ideas for the luncheon.  She has been so supportive and helpful.  Isn't it wonderful the friends we make in blogland.? 
 Miss Janice has a wonderful blog also, not only did she call me, and email me she sent me place cards and the recipe for Strawberry Riesling that everyone enjoyed! She gave me so much inspiration about many things especially the menu.  Now let me tell you about the luncheon.  We had the luncheon at my mother's house.  Are you ready for this?  My mother gave Jessie's grandmother a baby shower for her Uncle in that house, I gave her Mom a bridal shower there and I gave her bridesmaid luncheon there.  Is that cool or what?  I hand delivered every invitation with a bouquet of roses.
  I believe that made an impression don't you?I found the invitations on Etsy.  She designed them to look like the girls.  Here is a picture of them at the wedding, I think she came very close don't you?



My next post will be pictures of the luncheon (yes DeeDee I took pictures LOL).  I bought a disposable camera but I got pictures. 

What do you think?
