. . . W.O.W . . .

. . . well . . . i promised an update,

& since i'm nothing if not honest,

here is a peek at the

finished wedding dinner centerpieces . . .

. . . fun & festivities ensued when the

~ harmony park catering company ~

gathered to prepare the feast

for the WOW {wedding of the week} . . .

. . .seriously, when this group of

some of my favorite women on earth

was serving at

my daughter's reception last spring,

they were asked repeatedly

the name of their catering company . . .

. . . they're THAT good . . .

. . . friends who've since moved away

returned to lend a hand . . .

. . . service was, of course, given with a smile . . .
. . . peg was amazing, {as always},

in her role as the "kitchen nazi" . . .

. . . the MOG, {mother of the groom},

in red, seemed pleased . . . . . . the tables turned out rather nicely . . .

. . . & the food was,

if i do say so myself,

delicious . . .

the menu included:

♥spinach/berry salad♥

{w/ candied walnuts, red onion & goat cheese}

♥ritzy chicken♥

{w/ lemony cream sauce}

♥confetti rice♥

{w/ carrots, red pepper, celery & green onion}

♥fresh green beans♥

{w/ toasted almonds, garlic & bacon bits}

♥rolls♥

{thanks EVIT}

♥brownies♥

{al a mode w/ raspberry sauce}

. . . oh, & it was all to honor

this happy couple

who were married

the very next afternoon . . .

congratulations brian&liesl
{thanks for the photo, michelle}

. . . now, since you, the loyal reader,

have persevered until the end of this post,

i would like to share

an insider's tip with you.

should you ever be called upon

to tie ribbons around terra cotta pots,

just say no.

instead, run {don't walk}

to your nearest full service ribbon store

& get yourself

some of the elastic

that is used to make

headbands for baby girls.

{which, by the way, is available in a wide array of styles/colors,

none of which were anywhere to be found

when i was busy having/raising baby girls.

who me? i'm not bitter at all}

but i digress.

stitch said elastic into "potbands".

attach bows to bands & stretch around pots.

this will change your life,

& you'll be able to remove the bows,

water the plants

& use them for another wedding dinner

to be held a month from now.

you're welcome . . .
