We’re starting this week off with a delightful party thrown by Rosie of Simply Rosie Photography! She and her friend Rosella gathered everything from flea markets, antique stores, and thrift stores and planned all the details for creative “Thankful for Friends” party. They did an amazing job! Rosie’s friend Bethy of Eden Photography also came to the party, so we’ve included some of her shots as well!
Guests were welcomed by a chalkboard sign and a bird cage full of favors–lavender scented rice sachets with the names of all the guests attached!
The table was crafted out of an old barn door by Rosie’s husband! An assortment of rustic and shabby chic chairs and a few old benches were arranged around the table for the guests to sit on. Rosie and Rosella decorated the area with red and yellow tissue paper pom poms and a burlap banner with fabric rosettes attached.
The place settings were an assortment of plates, saucers, and coffee mugs found at thrift stores. To complete them, Rosie tied up vintage napkins, berries, and cinnamon sticks with twine.
The menu was all home baked goodies–chocolate chip cookies, brownies, apple pies, butter pecan tarts, raspberry ribbon cookies, and pumpkin tarts (yum)! They also served coffee fresh out of a french press, cold milk in antique milk jars, and tropical punch!
Rosella and Rosie also added cute vintage stamped labels and flags to all the food. They even antiqued the paper themselves!
The photobooth is our favorite detail. We love the daybed with the sheer canopy, and the props were absolutely perfect too! Rosella sewed most of the pillows herself and they added a few old quilts and a backdrop made with wood from the same barn as the table!

I found your blog and planned to confess I possess really savored reading your web blog blogposts.
By any means Ill end up being subscribing for your feed u hope anyone post again rapidly
I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any
interesting article like yours. It is pretty
worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web
will be much more useful than ever before.
Excellent blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on
everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many choices out there that I'm completely confused .. Any recommendations? Thanks!
