We were treated today to a lovely, well-planned brunch featuring tables decorated by some of the more creative women in our midst:
There were two tables devoted to a day at the beach; a patriotic red, white and blue table; one set with grandmother's china and looking very tea-partyish. Two of the more creative ones were these: one devoted to Paris (beautifully done by Amy Westerman--is there anything that woman cannot do?). It had a beautiful model of the Eiffel Tower in the center--Ruby red plates and glasses, and other momentoes about Paris. (Amy is from Paris, TN!). The other table done by Melissa Portell and her sister Melani was modeled after our Ms. Cheap column in the Tennessean. Left-over paper plates were used (You know--those special occasions when you buy paper plates and there are always two left over) , left-over holiday and birthday napkins sat by the plates; clipped coupons were all over the table, place mats were the colored grocery store ads from the newspaper. So imaginative.
The elders dressed in white shirts and black pants with towels over their arms served as waiters and part of the entertainment. Wonderful chicken salad, fruit salad and tea breads were eaten--and we all enjoyed ourselves so much! Thanks to all who planned, served and shared their gifts!
