Are you like me and hate to see summer end?
It is always a little sad, although I am
glad that I live where there are four seasons.
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I have
had a very busy and fun summer, but haven't taken
the time to blog about it.
Isn't life supposed to get less busy once
the kids have all left the home?
We had party after party, a wedding for my
youngest, and many trips to Lake Powell,
so I am a little late in sharing this summer
whites party, but I couldn't let summer end
without posting it.
Our craft group gets together once a month,
but this month our hostess Joanne said we
wouldn't be doing a craft, just dinner,
and we were all to dress in white.
Here we are! Karen made us flower crowns for the event.
We have been wowed by Joanne before, but this
one was over the top amazing!
Joanne set the table in her wonderful outdoor
setting. It was a former barn or garage, and they
retained the roof and four posts on corners. It is
open on all four sides and makes the most
wonderful summer venue.
Her sweet dogs even wanted in on the
party, and likewise dressed in white!!
Notice her dressed mannequin in the background.
I asked that we make one of those for a craft
group! We did one for Halloween, and I
will post that for you.
She always has a wonderful collection of
dishes. I think these were her grandmother's, and
the adorable ceramic flower baskets, that had
our nametags in them came from a thrift store.
Candles and flowers were everywhere, creating
such a soft and beautiful atmosphere.
She has all sorts of lovelies to view on all
sides with this tea cart, a dresser and a
screen made of old doors.
The huge chandelier in the center was draped with beads,
and she made coffee filter roses, which were everywhere!
Talk about swoon worthy!
Every chair had a darling posey. She misses nothing!
As always, each of us helps with the dinner.
We each bring a part of the dinner, making it
easy for the hostess.
Amy made a gorgeous cake,
and yummy cookies.
Of course we had to pose in her gorgeous
white hammock!
We ended the evening with a gorgeous
Maypole! Yes we are a little crazy, but
a ton of fun!!
So sorry to see summer leave!
It truly is the end of summer!!!
