Tablescape Thursday....Elegant Luncheon Buffet

I don't know about you, but summer and hot weather make me just a little lazy. You can call it heat induced lethargy, but it's still just lazy. Susan, our friend at Between Naps on the Porch doesn't seem to suffer from this malady! She's busy as a bee setting tables, taking walking tours, and snapping pictures! Please visit her to see this week's creative tables!

I belong to a women's organization founded in 1914. This organization is dedicated to providing scholarships and interest-free loans to young men and women who need financial assistance for college or graduate education. Over the years hundreds of young people have been able to achieve their dreams with the assistance of this group. That said, this group of women is also one talented group of decorators and cooks! Each month we meet in a member's home for our monthly business meeting and are then treated to lunch by alternating hostesses. This is a picture of the table at our May meeting.

Lots of our members are active garden club members also. The flower arrangements at these luncheons amaze me. The main centerpiece for this table is made from double begonias and potted geraniums. The butterflies hanging from the chandelier are from Hobby Lobby. See that cute butterfly net on the table? This is a "light" luncheon-- mainly salads and finger sandwiches. The sideboard, however, is another story. It is laden with decadent desserts! Each month the hostess and her team come up with a different theme. Thanks for letting me off the hook with my own table setting---I'm busy packing for the beach. Join Susan at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ to see what her faithful contributors have come up with this week!
