“There is nothing that makes me happier than sitting around the
dinner table and talking until the candles are burned down.”
―Madeleine L’Engle
Is it Friday already? Man this week went whooshed by, didn’t it?
I promised a post about what Evan and Lilly created in the kitchen at Kathy’s, so I’m back today with some more photos.
A little ribbon, some chicken-wire covered jars and poof! Hanging containers for more Fall bouquets!
Aren’t they just the sweetest little things you ever did see?
Such a fun way to “do” flowers, don’t you think?
Evan even had enough left to put together a bouquet on top of Kathy’s lazy Susan…
And after everything was “flowered”…Neighbor Tammy whooshed in with the FOOD! 😀
Fried chicken tenders, mini BLT sandwiches, garlic cheese biscuits with ham, sausage stuffed mushrooms, assorted cheeses, assorted fruits, assorted olives, spinach dip, roasted red pepper dip, chocolate-covered strawberries, snickerdoodles, brownie bites, mini pecan pies…
…y’all just don’t know how hard it is to live next door to a fabulous caterer. 😉
And sitting around the dinner table, talking ’til the candles burned down?
Nothing makes me happier, y’all.
🙂
I love all the different lengths & different vases, so gorgeous & such a nifty idea!

This is fabulous. It is worthy of a major magazine feature. The decor, flowers, food are unbelievable. What great neighbors and friends you have.
Oh to have been a little cricket in the bushes just listening in!! I wouldn’t have chirped because I wouldn’t have wanted to miss a single word. I think sitting a talking and visiting with friends is a marvelous way to spend an evening.
I always leave your site with the best ideas. Now, if I could just have Evan over to do fall flowers like this in my house. And that food looks so yummy. The beautiful kitchen makes an excellent backdrop!
Love her countertops. What material are they?
I noticed the countertops also, I have something similar that is Corian “Sea Salt” from the Martha Stewart Collection, but maybe we can find out for certain:)
The flowers were extraordinaire and the food looked delish!!!!
They are actually marble countertops, Mimi! They look almost like some kind of limestone in person though. So pretty!
What a wonderful idea wit the flowers. I know ya’ll really enjoyed yourselves. Still wish I had been able to come to the Market. Maybe next year.
Okay, I’m moving to your neighborhood!
I would love a tutorial on the device all the vases hang from. Trying to discover the how-tos by myself and wishing I could see it up close. It is great looking!
My thoughts exactly! I love the flower arrangements and would also love to see a tutorial on the ‘receptacles’.
Wow, what a beautiful spread!! Why can’t I have neighbors like this??? 🙂
I don’t think I could say I LOVE this enough times!!!
Layla…the quote is perfect…the hanging flowers are sensational…and the photos are exquisite. The only thing that would make it better…would to have been there, too!
Best wishes for a most extraordinary weekend!
What sweet hanging bouquets! I would love to try something similar for a special event – so creative. What a great gathering and yeah…must be “painful” having such talent in the neighborhood 🙂
I love to use fresh flowers and buying some for myself each week is a treat for me! The kids also love to help me pick when we go to the store 🙂 Looks like a great gathering!
What a wonderful, talented, community of friends!! Loved the quote and will keep it in mind, especially with the holidays approaching. And will try to reproduce some of that yummy food and stunning flowers. Thank you!
LOVE the hanging flowers. So creative! I bet everything smelled wonderful!
I adore this idea. It’s gorgeous!
So gorgeous! Thanks for sharing
Absolutely beautiful! I have been looking for something like these jars with chicken wire. Where did you find them?
