This horse is headed for the barn, but I wanted to put up some great pictures from this evening's festivities. All the teams have nautical names, and we are the Fire Island Girls. Here we all are after dinner… I was totally geeking out. My teammates are Mary Fish, Meg Loven, Michelle Zindorf, Karen Trelfa and Jackie Ross!!
Before dinner we had a poolside "ice breaker" reception with the cutest little lemonades in etched glasses and fruit skewers with sugar around the rim. Today has been full of little touches like that! And…we get to take the glass home with us!
The decorations were AMAZING. If I was going to plan an island-themed wedding, this is what I'd want the reception to look like! The flowers were fresh and each table was a little different. I also loved the burlap-wrapped chairs and the little placecard pennants. And then, in an even more amazing touch, the food was all themed, too! There was hot cornbread, crab legs with melted butter, shrimp and clams, boiled potatoes, corn on the cob and chicken–all served in a "paper" lined metal bucket. They even gave us lobster bibs! What a hoot.
For dessert there were individual warm wild berry cobblers and ice cream in little cast iron skillets. And look–I'm not the only one who takes food pictures!!
What a FUN evening! I'd love to include one last picture for you, and that would be our first night's pillow gift that I found upon retiring to my room tonight–BUT…. the package contains several brand new products, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow and look at the samples we'll be making, as we are not allowed to photograph the product itself. But let me just say, I have a new favorite sayings stamp set!!!
The Fire Island Team is an amazing group of demos! WOW! Congratulations and thanks for the posts…can hardly wait to see the samples tomorrow.
Such fun – thanks SO much for the pix. Showed them to Grandma Norinne last night and now a new batch for this morning!!
