Nothing says ‘Cocktails’ like a man in a tuxedo…..

It’s been a very hectic week but a really good kind of hectic.  We hosted a ‘Cocktails & Canapés Housewarming Party’ this past weekend.   It was a wonderful night and we thank our good new friends who bought warmth and happiness into our home in Georgia USA.  Because of their friendship our night was far more memorable than we could have imagined.

We had perfect weather.  A warm spring day followed by an even lovelier spring night.  We served our cocktails – Mojitos,  Mai Tai’s and Cosmopolitan’s in Mason jars along with non alcoholic ‘Shirley Temple’s’ to fifty plus guests.  Canapés along with some classic southern food such as pulled pork and slaw, dirty Cajun rice, corn bread, baby mac and cheese, sticky fingers pork etc etc etc. was served up along side desserts of salted caramel turtle, orange fluff, pies and cheesecakes to name a few.

Although I was a little too busy to use my camera we did end up with over 200 photos (courtesy of a 2 hour photo booth) so here is just a tiny selection…….

Sometimes a house just needs the kindness of good friends to finally make it a home.
