The Luncheon
I took a few days off of the deck project to come into the air-conditioning and cool off.
I had planned a luncheon for the officer moms in our homeschool group. So it was a great time to come in, take a shower and clean the house.
I pulled out my adorable summer dishes and made a cheery, summery table….
Since we have 2 tables in our dining room/school room I can set the table all up the day before. So all I had to do the day of the luncheon was get the food all ready. Oh yes, and keep the children out of the house. Sadly, I can’t do that part the day before.
I found these little napkins several years ago and had to have them. It perfectly describes the way we live.
The next day I simply set all of the food out and I’m ready for my guests…..
Chicken salad, fruit, nuts, crackers, veggies and a brownie for dessert.
The little yellow daisies add a fresh touch.
I alternated 2 different place settings.
A slushy lemonade hit the spot on a hot summer day….even though we were inside. It had mint in it….yummo!
I love avacados. They make me happy.
The luncheon was a great success. We planned for the year and we fellowshipped. You can’t go wrong with these ladies….they are a treasure!
I guess I have to let the kids back in the house now. Maybe I’ll just have one more glass of that lemon slush before I open the door.
Gorgeous!

I love the bright tablescape with the classic colors and finishes in your dining room — the beautiful food tops it off so nicely, and looks delicious! Got leftovers? 😉

What an awesome looking table! And the food looks delicious. I don’t think there is any way I could have kept my kids off that table…they would have been picking the locks on the doors. 😉
This is a great tablescape…quite sophisticated…it could hold its own in an upscale restaurant any day of the week! Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
