Theme yellow

The tablecloth is yellower in real life. Pineapple upsidedown cake, lemon cake with yogurt cheese filling and meyer lemon jelly on top. Deviled eggs for the savory. Ginger Thins and Petite Ecolier biscuits. Lisa and Barb both brought chocolates. And we had a pile of clementines for fruit.

DH made the pineapple upsidedown cake for us and oh my GOSH it was yummy! There is none left over.

I wanted an extra pop of yellow for the table, so I went to Michaels and spent $3 for a stem of artificial forsythia, then pulled it all apart and left a sprig of faux flower on each napkin. Add a clementine on each plate and it looks like a magazine!


We talked and laughed and ate and knitted. MJ is knitting a cape for her rag doll. Maggie is knitting a vest for her beloved. Barb is crochetting an afghan. Lisa made fabulous stitch markers with There were fifteen of us. I didn't get a chance to talk to everyone. I finally threw everyone out at quarter till two. It was a peak experience! I really, really love doing this! What a glorious tintinabulation of happy women's voices. And the house just echoes with happiness afterwards.
