"Friendsgivingmas Dinner"

What an action packed weekend!  I had an awesome install on Saturday and hosted my friends for Friendsgivingmas on Sunday.  Honestly, I went into panic mode on Saturday night when I realized that I was totally NOT ready for guest and I was absolutely exhausted from more than a week of running.

 

 

Thankfully I have great friends who don't mind chipping in and bringing things, so my events usually end up being potlucks.  Let's just say that's a great thing for someone as busy as I am.

 

  

 

I was most excited about decorating for the event.  I've been dying to use my gold flatware and this seemed like the perfect time.  I decided to go with mixed metals since

 I had silver chargers and purchased new brass ones at the ReStore recently for $2.00 each!

 

After picking up some fresh flowers I ended up keeping things very simple.  Alstroemeria is always a budget-friendly option and well....hydrangea are hard to resist. 

 

I was really pleased with how things turned out and best of all it was super simple.

 

 

The food was fantastic and we all had a fabulous time!  I may have just started a new tradition.

 

 

 

 Did I mention that the paperwhites I planted in November decided to bloom just in time.

 

 

 

Hope you had a great weekend too!
