A sad departure, but a splendid do! A week ago I hosted a potluck dinner to farewell my lovely sister, who is setting off overseas to have herself a grand adventure. Everyone brought something along and we shared food and memories, laughed and simply enjoyed one anothers company, surrouned by twinkling candles in an enchanted forest inspired setting.
A table for celebrating.
Early in the evening just as the sun was beginning to set.
A forest themed feast set the tone of the night.
A cute little nest as part of the decorations.
Vintage plates added cuteness to the theme.
Candles are always a must at a dinner party.
Getting ready before everyone started to arrive. Here I am wearing one of my favourite vintage aprons.
Two, four, six, eight, bog in, don't wait. We had a pot luck dinner and everyone bough something delicious to share.
Eating and being merry.
I just know at someone is saying something incredibly interesting.
A tantalising forest themed table.
Me and a very tired little baby Ävälon.
Me, Heidi and a very squirmy baby girl.
Talking and enjoying the night.
Why hello there!

On it's last little legs.
And as the night wore on.
