A Summer Welcome...

June is here! The weather is gorgeous and just looking outside makes me happy! The kids are in school for a few more days and we're looking forward to a fun summer ahead.

Today I thought it would be kind of fun to share a little luncheon idea I got from my sister, Kim. She is in a quilt group where 12 women of all different ages get together once a month at someone's home to sew. Armed with their sewing machines and rotary cutters, these ladies carve out time from each of their busy schedules to devote one day a month towards something they enjoy doing so much. Isn't that great?

They rotate homes each month and when it is at your home, you provide a nice lunch for everyone. So Kim's turn was today and I mosied on over there to help get things set up. Take a look!

Isn't that gorgeous? Here is another shot... (I couldn't help myself!) Oh, and those mini cupcakes are zuchinni cupcakes with caramel frosting. Ummm...ya. That is something else I couldn't help myself from! To. Die. For.

And if you take a closer look, you'll see these darling flour sack cloths she embroidered for each of her friends. Perfect for lining a basket of croissants! I'd say nothing screams summer more than bright red and beautiful cherries!

Thanks Kim for an amazing lunch and good company!
