Here are the promised pictures from my luncheon last Saturday. The event went very well: most of my guests were able to attend despite the delay of a day, and everyone seemed to have a nice time. My friends were very complimentary and appreciative.
I never expected snow in Dallas for my annual Valentine Luncheon!
The very talented Cherry from Cherry's Jubilee crafted this pretty "Friends" banner for me last year out of vintage papers. She also made the XOXO on the mantle
My tables had been set since Thursday night. The flowers arrived as scheduled Friday morning (despite pretty bad road conditions!). This is the table in my Living Room

My sweet neighbor and good friend Karey came over several hours early Saturday morning to help with last minute preparations (here she is pictured with her daughter, Allison, who is Dots's BFF)

Four beautiful, absolutely lovely tables! I have no doubt that your luncheon was such a treat for your friends-- I know I always look forward to seeing your pictures and hearing about it all! :)

I unintentionally contaminated all of the pictures on my blog when I changed my privacy settings on Flickr. I am working backwards to correct them all, but it is quite a tedious procedure! If you encounter a post with error messages from Flickr where the pictures should be, then I haven't gotten to that post yet. Please let me know and I will update it immediately. Thanks for your patience!
