On Saturday, I co-hosted a graduation luncheon for a dear English department colleague and friend’s daughter. The other two hostesses are also members of the English department at the high school where I taught.
I enjoyed being with them so much.
We held the luncheon at a local ladies for lunch restaurant, and we brought everything for the table.
Anna (a co-hostess) is a master at wrapping gifts. We bought the honoree a Waterford jewelry holder.
Years ago I bought a box of milk glass vases at the flea market, and I used them to hold zinnias from my garden and lime green pom poms I bought at HEB.
Each guest received a small gift bag with a beaded bracelet.
Everyone ordered from the menu and chocolate earthquake cake with ice cream was the dessert most of the girls ordered .
I was so proud of my zinnias.

Anna’s lime green napkins
Anna’s metal floral napkin rings- Pier I
Anna’s Courtly Check chargers

Beautiful table - you gals must have had a wonderful time :)
The color combination of this table is smashing not to mention the florals! I love zinnias and yours are just beautiful. What a lovely luncheon and I'm sure the honoree will treasure the memory.

I love zinnias...just planted some this weekend...beautiful table..
You should be proud of your zinnias. They are great and the little green mums just set them off. I know your friends felt very special with such a pretty table.
I may dream about those brownies and ice cream tonight.
Gorgeous setting, LOVE your zinnias! The colors are all perfect! Have a blessed day my friend! Hey, tell you friend... I love the bow on the gift:) HUGS!
Simply beautiful table! What a treat to sit down to it.......
Gorgeous table scape! Just goes to show you what happens when a group of talented ladies put their ideas together. So festive and fun!
Your zinnias look gorgeous!!! All the colors look gorgeous! You gals did an awesome job. Thanks for sharing it with us.
What a beautiful table. I have new respect for those milk glass vases now - they just need some bright colors to make them 'pop'! Your zinnias are lovely, too. BTW - do you pronounce it as zin-ia (the 'i' like the 'i' in tin), or zeen-ya (with a long e)? The latter is the way I always heard it growing up, but I've noticed most gardeners use the first pronunciation. As an English teacher and gardener, I bet you know the correct way . . .
Cheers,
Leah
