Setting the Scene ~ Lights…Camera…(Beautiful Photography ~ The very talented ~ Stefanie Knowlton…Thank You Stef! )

La Famiglia pulled together fabulous Black & White photos of Audrey Hepburn circa ~ ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Luscious Lengths of Rich Gray Velvet, Raw Linen, Gleaming Silver, Glass…and a miniature Chandelier…actually a Christmas Ornament…I rediscovered when I finally organized the Holiday ‘Secret Room’…Bonus!

A little backdrop like this…provides the ‘Theater’...the ‘Drama’ for this ‘Girly Gathering’ and it’s a fun setting for the ‘Confection Counter!’

A ‘Sweet’ little table…marked by a discount store ~ frame…

Divine Chocolate ‘takeaways’…in ‘diamond ring’ (Image ~ The Graphics Fairy) cellophane bags…standing at attention thanks to a silver toast rack!

Love the ‘Diamond Tags’…in chalk…on simple black paper with gray velvet ribbon!

The silver…bag closures… are attached to a parchment ‘ribbon’… set on a decorative dowel…to seal the deal!

The Menu ~

Crab Cakes with a buttermilk, dill and lemon sauce…

The Before …

The After…

Mini Scallion Biscuits with Smoked Salmon (A Kathy Casey recipe)

…And a Charcuterie & Cheese board… (Inspired by an article in ‘House & Home’)…

…Featuring local cheeses (Beecher’s) and Charcuterie (Salumi Salami)!

Lining the cutting boards with unbleached parchment and fig leaves from my garden…makes for a nice presentation…and easy cleanup!

Tucked in…Cornichons…figs, drizzled with honey…dried fruits and nuts…rosemary crackers, bread and Grissini….

Add mini Chocolate Ricotta Citrus Cheesecake bites…Uncork some French Champagne…add a little classic Beatles music…the soft glow of candles…and what more do you need!
