Moonshine

Okay, here it is you guys/girls... My week late, but still special Valentines!

With not a lot of time or money to spend on this project I still wanted things to be cute, comfortable, and clean looking. First off, I knew I wanted to use the little outdoor space at GK's apartment to set up dinner (that I carried out from one of my favorite restaurants, Moonshine, which was also my muse for the evening).

So in a rush to get things set up before GK showed up in FIVE MINUTES

the photos fail to capture the red pillows on the chairs,

napkins, red wine, and wine glasses.

It does however point out that I accidentally placed the fork and knife

on the wrong sides of the plates....oops!... again, I was super rushed.

I used an old tin to hold the cornbread muffins, tore white paper into "circles" to

go under the plates, and used the red background initials I drew on

newspaper to add decoration to the glass plates, even though they were suppose to go on napkin rings, but there was no time for that.

For the really fun part of the table, I transferred the tulips and bow
I already had into a mason jar,

tied the hand drawn "I love you" newspaper sign to a plaque, thew in some votives,

a silver tray, and mini dessert tray.

For the mini cakes, I used different sized heart cookie cutters to cut through some pound cake.

I used red icing to cover the cakes and white icing to pip the letters.

(Needless to say, pipping skills still need some work... when I have more time!)
