Feeding the One Day Dream

We all have that dream job. Well mine is not glamorous but one day my dream is to own an self sustaining venue to host dinner parties and small events.  I would provide the decor including florals and a glorious feast using vegetables from my garden. In addition, they would have a built in photographer and amazing images to take away from the night for memories. But until my dream becomes a reality, I will continue live for our end of the summer party. I always host it the same weekend as my husband's birthday and have so much fun putting everything together myself. Here are the images from this last weekend.
