I always say that the best time to host a party is when you already have one planned that week.

The house is already cleaned, extra tables and chairs have been carried in, sometimes you can even make enough food to serve two times.

That part of the plan didn’t work completely., but sorta. I made fresh quiche for both days, but I did sautee all the veggies and meats ahead of time so I could assemble the pies easier.

For the second get together, I didn’t set the table, it was served buffet style. The earlier Bookclub gathering was a set number of people, this 2nd one was more open ended and I wasn’t sure how many we’d have.

I’m always looking forward to throwing a bash, setting up for a party is every bit as much fun as redoing my booth at Good Juju.

We had a festive day, and a lovely group.
Angie made a peppermint pie that is now up there on my list of all time best foods.

And aren’t these roses from Beth full of holiday cheer? Everyone was very thoughtful, and generous.
Like I said, a lovely group.
