PICNIC DINNER CELEBRATION

By Cindy Goff

Okay, I admit it. I am a fan of Martha Stewart, and I love to “theme” events and do a lot of “foofing”! You know, embellishing just about anything with either ribbon, tags, paper crinkle, pictures, flowers and what-nots. The creative side of me gets fulfilled with my Longaberger business. I love to decorate! Year End Awards and Bring Back the Bee, became a SummerTime Picnic Celebration. I had fun planning the menu using our New TLC Food Line, Longaberger Pottery, Baskets and Wrought Iron. We had a wonderful time and everyone went home feeling Longabergerfied!

Love mixing our current line products as well as Vintage Longaberger; the Stars and Stripes Melamine, Backyard Bandana (love RED and Paisley!), and Old Glory Napkins, dessert bowls, (think DASH BOWLS!) . It all works together beautifully. The Umbrella Surround was big enough to hold, a Lg Pitcher, 2 Wine Beverage Baskets and a recipe basket filled with napkins.

Good eats! Good friends! Good times!

Patriotic Treat Bags held the silverware, red striped napkins and a few chocolate treats. Cloth napkins were used as "placemats" on a diagonal under the plates and hung off the edge of the table.
