Brunch Gathering...

Wednesday, March 12, 2014

It is SNOWING right now... 

They say we will get 8"-12" today and then end with up to a 1/2" of ice... 
Yay us! 
I meant to say... BOO!!

 I decided to start planning my next Mary & Martha Gathering for my home... 
Something fun for April. Last fall I did a Brunch Mary & Martha Gathering at our house... 
It was so much fun... I think it is time to do another... 
Here are pictures from that gathering.

The Penguin was part of our children's line from last year... Cute as he is, he isn't a permanent resident of our sofa! 


It was the Lord's timing that we were in the process of a bit of re-decorating when I signed up since all the walls were freshly painted and blank... It really allowed me to decorate Mary & Martha style! 


The owl lamp is from a little shop in downtown Rockland that carries unique new and vintage items. We named him "Hector" because, why not?


Since I had so much of our products around I didn't put up much of a display... One of the many nice things about hosting my own gathering! (Please ignore the cat toy that ended up under my chair!) 


Clipboards & gifts for guests...


Since our parent company is DaySpring they provide us with beautiful greeting cards to give our guests among other cute and inspirational items for our guests & hosts!



But Brunch is about food...


Like mini-doughnut towers...


Coffee cake & croissants...


Coffee & fun flavors of creamers...


Quiche & orange juice...


A make your own waffle bar...


It was a huge hit...


We had so much fun that day... I do think it is time to do it again.
Any ideas for ways to mix it up? I am always open to new ideas!


Thanks for listening,

  1. Oh my gosh, it all looks fabulous! I wouldn't change a thing except maybe to add hot tea as a choice. I LOVE that donut tower! haha. And I love the chair with the toy cat underneath. Not because there's a toy cat underneath... I just love the chair. :)

    1. Thank you... That chair has come to be known in our house as "the chair" as I spotted it in a furniture store while shopping for furniture for a different room... It was love at first sight and I HAD to have it. I had just bought living room furniture but it hadn't been delivered yet so I didn't even know if there would be room for that chair so I left without buying it. That store is over an hour from here so I regretted it all the way home and obsessed about it for days... The writing was on the wall, but when I went back it was gone! The person working that day did not recall "the chair" so I sat forever searching through their books to find it the through fabric samples to find the "just right" red gingham... 10 LONG weeks later I finally had my chair... And I love it just as much now as then!

  2. I love the make your own waffle bar-such a great idea! If you wanted to change it up you could do a yogurt bar with different toppings. I don't think you need any help : )

  3. More snow?! Hang in there... spring WILL come eventually.

    Good gracious, it's a good thing I'd just had lunch when I clicked on your blog because otherwise I'd be hungry for sure - everything looks so warm, inviting, and delicious! And I love all your owls, from Hector to the kitchen towel - so cute!

  4. I love it all, too! It certainly looks inviting!! I really like your curtains! And the red chevron pillow. So cute!! Do you have a guest book for your home? I don't, but every time I visit a home that has one, it always seems like a fun idea. Then, you can glance back and remember the guests & fun memories.... the fruition of your hospitality.
