Last year, I was thrilled to have the honor of hosting a Fall- themed bridal shower, for the daughter of a very close friend of mine, in my garden. In a previous life (ie college) I was sure that I'd end up in catering for my lifelong career. Sure, I spent four years studying Horticulture, Landscape Design and Greenhouse Culture, but truly, the parties were where my heart was.... I love the satisfying feeling of pulling together simple elements to create an easy, comfortable environment where guests are happy and the mood is light. Add in some good friends and little bubbly? All is right in the world! The big home tour is a little less than two weeks away. We've been making good progress, in the little bits than we can working between contractors. Every time I show up, the renovation has expanded... Yikes! |
