Mark and I were invited to a dinner party at the end of last week on an absolutely beautiful evening. The table was equally beautiful; so much so that I made him grab a few pictures on his phone. There was seating for 14 guests which meant Mark had to take more than one photo to get the entire table. There were lap blankets and throws in case it turned chilly and we needed to cover up but the temperature never fell so much that anyone needed a wrap.
I particularly liked the look of those French park chairs all in a row, looking so pristine with their white enamel paint.
Mark and I brought easy hors d'oeuvres: olives and breadsticks. Gardeners, note that I used a vase to hold the breadsticks. I needed a tall plain container and I realized nothing fit that description as well as a vase!
In case you are curious, the entree was Cioppino with cornbread. Dessert was a fabulous lemon poppyseed layer cake served with coffee and glasses of iced Limoncello. A wonderful way to welcome September. Thank you Jane and David for including us.
Looks like tooo much fun. The food sounds yummy too. The yellow flowers and napkins went with the limon theme too. Pretty pretty.

Lisa — I decided anyone who sets such a lovely table and cooks dinner for 14 people (!) should get a special thank you.
