The "Library Ladies' Brunch in the Garden" Party

Two of the ladies couldn't make it after all, making an intimate gathering even more intimate.  It was a really, really nice time.  

The menu:

Vegetable quiche

Sausage quiche

Hashbrown Casserole

Cinnamon chip scones with apple butter

Sausage and Bacon Breakfast Bites

Fresh Blueberries

Blueberry Buckle

Peppermint Tea and Lemonade

There was garden wandering, drinks in mason jars, a dozen bouquets cut from my flower circle, my beloved barrel, burlap table runners, glittered butterflies made by Corynn, postcard favors, vintage blue canning jars (borrowed from my mother-in-law) for vases, white cloth napkins, my usual blue tablecloths and plenty of good conversation.  Thanks to being done a few minutes earlier than the guests arrived, there was even last-minute little food flags.

My only lament (I remembered just as they were driving back down the road) was not showing them my hall of books- librarians, you'd think, would like to see that.
