What a spectacular weekend we had.
After a week of rain, the skies cleared and things dried out.
As you know, I spent a good portion of the previous two weeks getting ready for
Ashley's bridal shower.
There were favors to make...
(our theme was "Meant To Bee")
little bags filled with fresh farm honey
and tubes of honey lip balm.
Bee cake to bake...
Wedding cake cookies to bake, assemble and decorate...
Fresh garden strawberries to dip in chocolate...
Mason jars to paint and fill with fresh flowers...
Tiny chalkboards that said "Meant to Bee" and "Bride to Bee"...
A banner to be made....
The pavilion to decorate...
"Meant"
"To"
"Bee"
Food to prepare...
Deviled eggs, bean and corn salad, spinach and bacon quiche, onion and mushroom quiche,
fresh farm-made goat cheese and crackers (cheese made by Amanda),
fresh sugar peas from the garden and dip....
Mediterranean tomato couscous salad, roasted vegetable and tortellini salad,
and teriyaki chicken/zucchini kabobs from the grill...
Fancy drinks and a refreshing summer grapefruit/gin punch...
Lots of food,
good friends and family,
good conversation,
fun and silliness,
and perfect gifts
made for a memorable day.
We are so very happy that Ashley is joining our family this week.
The wedding is Saturday...
so, Part 2 of this post will be in one week.

Love the Bee cake and cookies, (the cake plates too.)
Charming . . . everything . . .
and the quiche and salad . . .
I think you have one more talent in your treasure chest of talents . . .
Can't wait to see the big day!
