| We decided to have a little dinner party Saturday night for two of our neighbors who were kind enough over our holiday vacation to not only keep an eye on our House.... But one took care of the pool maintenance While the other took down our outdoor Christmas Decorations... It was time to Thank them so what better way then with Food... |
 |
| Neighbor Bill surprised me Saturday morning with these Flowers.... instructed by wife Susan on what to buy :) |
 |
| They are beautiful..... arranged in my Pottery Barn Frenchy Vase.....they look gorgeous in the entrance Hall.... |
 |
| When neighbors #2 showed up Saturday Night.....they brought me these!! |
 |
| We usually don't eat in the Dining Room...... But I got inspired to set the table on a dreary cold Southern Day... |
 |
| I had found that flower pot a few weeks ago at TJMaxx....and although not a fan of potted plants I knew I could use it for something.. So I did this fresh flower arrangement in it... Inside is a Tupperware container to hold the water, |
 |
| The black and white Buffalo Check Place mats came from Old Time Pottery here in Marietta... they were $1.00 a piece.... |
 |
| Not a fan of butterflies..... But I loved the post card theme on the pot....I think I paid $7.00 on the clearance Shelf... |
 |
| All of the glasses on the table came from every Bloggers favorite haunt.... The Dollar Tree.... Don't you love the twisty shape of the green stemware.... I served tomato and mozzarella with basil in those... |
 |
| The candles are the fake ones that feel just like wax and they flicker when you turn them on.... A gift from a friend I think she said she found them at Costco... |
 |
| So that was My dinner party for 6...... counting 2 lucky people that moved a year and a half ago into a neighborhood where you could have won the neighbors in a Lottery.... Where's the food pictures??? Well, we were so busy talking and eating that I forgot to take pictures of the food.... On the Menu..... tomato and mozzarella with basil and Balsamic vinegar and olive oil..... Minestrone soup Or Tossed salad with Italian dressing.... Lasagna with veal marinara sauce... Meatballs and Sausage and peppers... Garlic cheese toast.... and for the Finale' Juniors New York Cheesecake with whole fresh strawberries and shipped cream..... |

Gotta love your black and white buffalo check place mats. '-) The table looks lovely with those colorful flowers. I know your neighbors appreciated your delicious dinner.
Love the table and what a nice dinner with neighbors! That arrangement with the gear bears is gorgeous!
Your table is beautiful and I am not surprised! And that is so true when you want to thank someone you feed them and you have done that so many times for others - it is your gift. I know the food was great.

Sounds good! Wish I was a neighbor! Sally
Great table setting, you always do a fabulous job and no one and I mean no one would turn down an invitation of eating at your house.
It sounds like you have fabulous neighbors! Your table is so pretty and the menu sounds delicious. That's a great way to repay neighbors.
Just beautiful! I need to move closer to Atlanta :)
Oh, that menu... makes me hungry, just reading it! Everything looks so pretty too! Maybe you will inspire me to have some friends over, but you may need dynamite to get me going!
Would you like to move to my neighborhood???
I may be heading to Georgia to visit my brother in October. I'll let you know what's going on and hopefully we can connect.
Oh my Gosh your table is looking so beautiful with this Exotic flowers . I just love it. Truly fabulous job.
Love your tablescape with the b/w check place mats. Oh, gosh, I was looking at those green stem glasses at DT today. Your menu sounds sooo good, but then you're a fabulous cook. Lucky neighbors. :)
