Boo-licious Buffet ...Our Saturday Seminar!

As many of you know, I have been working on Christmas for quite awhile.

But...

 I have been  looking forward to teaching this class on

 Buffets and Tablescapes

for sometime .

For the most part, I was looking forward to having some fun with our wonderful and supportive customers...

But also, Because I just needed a break!

We had decided early on this Fall that the "Theme" would be based on the movie

"The Wizard of Oz"

This year marks it 70th Anniversary...

And The Horton's Daughters,

Loved the Play

"Wicked"

So...
 I hope you will follow me down the yellow brick road for an afternoon of

Food, Fun and Frivolity!

Here are some of our Precious Ladies waiting for me to open the french doors.(open, open, open,)

I always love seeing everyone who comes for our Free Saturday Seminars And by the looks of things they enjoy visiting as well!

I was a little slow in setting up this morning. Most of the time you can come on in and find a seat.

But ...We had been cooking(off site) so...alot of it had to be reheated

 in the Fudge Kitchen.

Only about twice a year do we have food related classes here at the store.

(It's a big deal!)

These are our Cutlery and Goodie Bags

At the end of the buffet class we had a "take and make" to teach everyone the how to's

Our Swampwater Punch was a "Monster-ous" Success

Some of the banners over the buffet table.

We showed how to set up a buffet two different ways.

One : The Wizards- was a dessert buffet

The menu included such items as: Tin Man Tarts, Scarecrow Cupcakes and Cowardly Lion Cookies.

Two:  Elphaba's Tea Party (The Wicked Witch)

Where Witches Brew Mexican Stew was the star of our show.

To make things a little more like a tea party ...we served the soup in wonderful teacups and saucers!

Need an extra hand?

Many of the recipes were found within the cookbooks we carry at the store...

The Others I will be posting as soon as I can!

(You might need to email me...in case I forget)

This is  another photo taken at the wizards table...

The shoes really are glittered ruby slippers...

More food in Dorothy like picnic baskets...and of course Ruby Reds!

What would a Witches buffet be without her broom!

After everything was said and done,

I returned to home to find a delightfully "Frightful" gift from a dear friend and attendee!

This is what I call a "sound bite"

What a wonderful day! Thank you to everyone who attended!

but

If you didn't get to attend...remember that the Christmas Open House is November 7 and 8!

You won't want to miss this!

We have many incredible suprises in store for you this year!
