Farmer's Market Mother's Day Party




Hello! I hope you all had a nice Mother's Day. For my Mother's Day party this year, I decided to do a Farmer's Market theme since my mother likes to buy local fruits, veggies, and products, and she likes decorating with a farmhouse style. I went with a modern, bright color scheme, mixing black and white with vibrant watercolors. As usual, I found myself painting the banner, creating the canopy and figuring out the decor last-minute, but not all the morning of, for a change. I did most of it the night before (like 11:00 p.m.). I made the canopy by cutting some fabric I had grabbed on sale months before, took two hangers from our laundry room and bent them into a rectangle, and hot-glued it all together. It was flimsy, but served the purpose. I held it up by simply shutting the ends of the hangars in the cabinet doors. The flowers were from our yard. I miraculously managed to bake a successful coffee cake as a breakfast/treat. The recipe was from this link. I had the dishes on hand, but they came from thrift stores and the milk bottles from Michaels.


































I hope you like it! I will soon share my Father's Day party from last year, so come again!
