On Monday I hosted 11 women for breakfast! They are all neighbors and now friends! We had a good time and I thought I would share some of it with you! I set the kitchen table and the dining room table. For the kitchen table I used my everyday Fall dishes. I also shortened the garland that I made last week so that people could sit at the ends of the table.
No stacks of dishes for this breakfast, everyone just grabbed a plate and went to the breakfast bar to get their food.
In the dining room I used a mix of plates.
These that are now my FAVORITES and...
these on the ends. Everything had a leaf component that day.
I set up the buffet area of the kitchen for the breakfast bar.
I had some mini cranberry/orange muffins,
French toast casserole (oh honey!), with maple syrup for drizzling over it.
Bacon and egg casserole,
and fruit salad.
I set up water, juices and apple cider here.
Got these great bottles that came with the chalkboard labels AND chalk at Walmart for less than $5.00 each! I am going to get a couple more!
Everyone had a good time, they stayed til noon:) I am sorry I didn't get any pics of the guests but I was having fun too:):)
The tables look great and the food so truly delicious...I hope you will share those recipes...as I am always hosting breakfast/lunch for my sewing group ladies!....Glad you are having a great time with friends new and old...
ReplyDeleteThe tables look great and so did the menu!!
ReplyDeleteHow much fun to have a get-together with friends and neighbors. Love your tablescapes and the food..oh my! Everything looks delicious. Bet everyone had a great time.
ReplyDeleteYou KNOW you've put on a great party when neighbors are now friends! They will not forget your hospitality and great food for a long time to come! This is what being neighborly is about...when you provide an opportunity for folks to come together and break bread, share some laughs, and just let their hair down a bit. The fact that they stayed so long is testament to the good time they were having.
ReplyDeleteYou did a beautiful job with your tables, and keeping it simple for breakfast makes sense to me!
Great job! Have a terrific weekend!
Pinky,

Love your table and buffet! It all looks wonderful and very autumnal.
ReplyDeletePinky, Your chalkboard carafes are so fun and functional too! I'll have to look for them next time I'm at Walmart :)
