~ homemade: linen and laces dessert table ~

Well I finally made it to Florida despite the emergency landing in New Mexico!  Wow, what a trip it was.  I have never been so happy to finally arrive at my destination as I was last night - granted it was 3 hours later than planned, but I made it. If you are wondering what the heck I am talking about you can see right here.  Thank you Angela at Swatchbook Weddings for sending me the link.  Mwah!  And thank you everyone for your well wishes and concern.  I was very touched. 


Okay so on with this week's homemade post.  I told you last week that I did a photoshoot back in May, and never did anything with it.  Last week I showed you the escort area for the photoshoot, and this week I am going to show you the dessert area.  I set up the dessert bar on a vintage ironing board, and used vintage linens to decorate the tops of the jars.  Also, a flower frog is the perfect spot to hold a sign and some star lollipops.  And I thought that Queen Anne's lace was so fitting for this photoshoot...

This is when I created the booster that you have seen before with vintage book pages.  The mini cupcakes are all adorned with words from the book.  On top "Epilogue" stands above the rest...but there is also "will you marry me?" and "yes" from the book too!  All attached onto small wooden sticks with  mini clothespins.

So there you have it - a vintage linen and lace dessert area!  Next week I will share with you a special area that is something I do for all big events that I host.  Trust me - you won't want to miss it!  Hope you're having a wonderful Thursday!  I am - in Florida ;-)
