This weekend, my friend Carrie + I hosted a little soiree in honor of our friend Mary. Because I heart Mary and wanted everything to be special....
and also because I'm not an eat-out-of-the-plastic-container kind of girl when it comes to celebrations....
Jocelyn humors me and uses the wine glass holding plate
I loaded up some party plates, and headed out to wine country.
This is a picture of my trunk.
On Saturday, it proved to be a place where messiness bred resourcefulness.
Turns out, I failed to bring enough serving pieces for all the food.
This type of negligence happens often when I plan parties + events because, to put it mildly, I'm unorganized.
Fun....
but usually a tad frenzied.
It's a good thing on any given day in my trunk I can find clear bowls, glass vases of varying sizes, colorful napkins, even ribbon. If you drive around with all that, you too can, by default, stage a pretty table like this....

what a wonderful soiree! love your pewter dishes and all that yummy food! you're a good friend. Happy Birthday Mary!
Yay!!! I see pork and apple! I hope it was as tasty as it was sounding in my head Friday afternoon. :)
The plate with the wine holder totally cracks me up because that is SO something that I would do, and I know my friends would not be willing to participate! Everything looks fantastic! :)
