Today's white is a trip down memory lane.
In honor of my miss g's birthday
I dug out photos of her 16th birthday party.
It was quite the production.We built (I mean husband built)
the make-shift structure
just for this.
We had to *hang* a chandelier, you know.
An evening dinner party
in the garden
Her sisters and
the friends she had grown up
with were invited.
Can you tell?
She is a detail person (like me).
We had so much fun working on this together.
The menu :
The menu :
Homemade Bread sticks
Green Salad with Italian Vinaigrette
Chicken Parmesan
Penne with Alfredo sauce
Chilled Lemon Souffle'
Chocolate Truffle Tart
Fresh Raspberries
All from scratch
all by herself
Every year for her birthday
She would have *teaparties*
Pretty dishes and yummy food.
She is her mama's girl.
I miss those teaparties.

How darling. I didn't get to do that with my daughter, nothing frilly aout her. But my granddaughters love tea parties. We have at least two special ones a year. Thank you for the dinner in white idea for when their older. Do you think your hubby would come and build that canopy for me so I can hange a chandelier?

My mom and I were like that too... oh how I miss her so. What a lovely tea party, so well put together for a woman of any age. I have to say you give it your all for posting... It's never a dull moment looking at your gorgeous photo's.
