Here are a few shots from the lunch with my girlfriends. The theme began when my sisters and I shopped at the Christmas Shoppe in Buffalo. They had placemats, napkins, and cups with a crab theme and I thought they would go well for the luncheon. 
We needed a beach centerpiece so I gathered what few beachy items I had…a conch shell, some small shells from the Dollar Tree, some moss that looked like seaweed,
and some beach glass.
I added some blue candles, a beach chair and a fern and had a centerpiece.
We put a mercury glass vase upside down in the candlier and added some viny stuff that looked like seaweed. Linda brought me some luminara candles from Tuesday Morning. I love how they look real and are on timers. 
We had a lot of fun decorating the table and had an enjoyable lunch. Our menu consisted of savory rosemary raisin and pecan Mermaid Muffins, Aloha Fruited chicken Salad, Under the Sea mixed green salad and for dessert…Apple Rose Puffs. 
It would be best to look up the video on Youtube but here are the ingredients.
- 1 frozen pastry puff sheets (thawed)
- 2 apples (red organic, I used red delicious)
- 1/2 lemon juice
- 1 tbsp flour (to sprinkle the counter)
- 3 tbsps apricots (preserve)
- cinnamon (optional)
- powdered sugar (for decorating, optional)
oh peggy! what a lovely table!
ReplyDeleteand an absolutely amazing dessert!!! you should be a caterer!
well. on second thought... what a lot of work! more fun just creating such beauty and fun for your friends and sisters. xo
It was a fabulous luncheon! As someone who was not blessed with the artistic gene, I am so appreciative of those who can visualize and then, create. Peggy and her sisters are all gifted creatively. The table looked lovely, and the food was delicious. It was a fun afternoon.

Wow..this looks so great! I especially love the apple puffs. They're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anon. above. I was not given the how-to-see-a-finished-table-scape gene. :-) You who have it, do amazing things.
And those apple things look too pretty to eat!

Those apple puffs look amazing! The decorations look wonderful, I would keep them up all summer. :)
ReplyDeleteThis beach luncheon looks just superb. I would love to host such a fun bash on my 25th birthday. I am also planning to host the bash at some private beachside party Venues in San Francisco. It would be a DIY party so your post will be very useful for me.
