** (It seems like the whole world
has changed since last Saturday
when we gathered to celebrate my birthday.
I swing from panic mode
to
I can totally do this.
One thing that hasn't changed
my love of my wonderful family
and
realizing how very much we are all
literally
in this together.
So I hope this post can offer
a little pretty diversion
in unsettling times.
I think there is a calming force
in still
pursuing beauty
in daily rituals.)
It's up to each of us
to be a light for one another.
So here I offer some sweet little tips
to make your take out
a little bit more special.

My darling daughter came by with a lovely
Take OutPop Up Lunchthis weekend!
It was such a WONDERFUL way to safely come togetherfor my birthday!
I had just freshened up my living room centerpiecewith flowers from my birthday!
Ellis brought sandwiches and sides form the delicious and localMendocino Farms!
We kept the lunch super simple and casualby pulling out trays from my collectionjust adding in plates and utensils.
Simply pulling out trays elevated the take out containers
I brought out purple cloth napkinsto coordinate with my flowers.
Ellis also brought an assortment of canned cocktails form
You and Your's Distillerywhich completed the lunch spread!
Plating items on trays
adding coordinating cloth napkinsand flowerselevated the delicious take out lunch!
How beautiful are these cans from You and Your's Distillery
My darling daughter is
Director of Operations and Events
for the company.
