~Happy Halloween and Simple & Sweet Fridays #139~

I wanted to share some photos of our house decorated for Halloween.
I can hear little trick-or-treaters coming to the door.
Lots of candy for their bags.
Can't wait to see their costumes!
The excitement in their faces.
I have the miniature house decorated.
The lights are on and the ghost is waiting!!
I have out the black and white runner for the table.
The silver pumpkins sparkling in the light.
I'll put out my black and white pillows to add to the halloween theme.
A glass pumpkin in the kitchen shining the last of sunlight.
The Halloween trees on the mantle for a Halloween season look.
A pretty teal pumpkin accenting the Patisserie sign.
My mannequin lit up with twinkling lights.
Hope you all have a Happy Halloween with family and friends!

~Mary's Whimsical Garden Birthday Party and Simple & Sweet Fridays #126~


I hosted a Whimsical Garden Birthday Party for my dear friend, Mary.
I made her a special birthday hat
I had a lot of fun decorating and planning the menu.
The weather here in San Diego was so hot we ended up eating inside.
We're so lucky to have air conditioning.
Yuri made the appetizers:Watermelon Amuse Bouche with balsamic vinegar and mint. 
Nectarine wrapped Prosciutto with Blackberry 
and Heirloom Tomato Caprese with Basil.
Tami made a Rosemary Maple Bourbon Sour Drink.
 So refreshing!
Linda made the dessert.
It was a Lemon Sour Cream recipe soaked in limoncino, simple syrup and layered with a white chocolate mousse and cream with blueberries and raspberries. Outside was coated with a mixture of lemon curd and cream and toasted almonds. Garnished with pink plumerias and hydrangeas.
It not only was beautiful, it was delicious!
I set the table with a lace tablecloth 
with a pink tablecloth underneath.
I just bought some new Royal Albert dishes.
New Country Rose and Polka Rose, 
so pretty together.


I used paper Cake Vintage placemats.
It gave the table setting a Whimsical look.
Vintage cloth napkins to match with antique silverware.

I used my cloches to display the name tags. 
I made little orange pumpkins out of fimo.
I cut out chalkboard paper and wrote names
 with a chalkboard pen.
I collected champagne bottle caps and 
made little champagne chairs for the cloches.
I will share more photos this weekend of the decorations and crafts.

I found these cute dragonflies at Myrtle Creek Nursery in Fallbrook.
~*Have a whimsical weekend!*~
