Valentines Day Wedding { Willamette Heritage Center at the Mill }

Pleasant Grove Presbyterian Church

Last Saturday we attended our nephews Valentines Day Wedding. 

The bride and groom chose this charming little church for the ceremony. 

Before the wedding began we enjoyed delightful music provided by a harpist while being entertained by two playful squirrels giving chase along the branches in the trees outside the church windows. Of course the squirrels were much too fast for my slow little camera shutter.

After the ceremony we walked to the 

Mission Woolen Mill

Dye House

for the reception and a lovely luncheon.

The tables were set with layered linen tablecloths and mismatched antique china.

An assortment of Cupcakes & Tarts were served at the dessert table.

Perfect weather for a bubble send off for the newlyweds. 

A beautiful day 

for a 

lovely wedding

Congratulations J & M!

SUPER BOWL Party 2015 { football party favors, stamped sugar cookies, cupcakes }

A few weeks ago I was preparing to host a Super Bowl Party and then at the last minute plans changed and we ended up going to our friends house to watch the game. Since I knew that their grandchildren were also going to be there I thought it would be fun to take party favors for the kids so I made some Football Treat Bags over the weekend. The footballs were easy and fun to make however they took a little longer than I expected which put me behind so by the time they were done and all the baking was finished it was literally time to leave. Unfortunately I only had time to snap a few quick pictures before heading out the door and was so disappointed when I discovered on Monday that I only had taken two of the cupcakes and one of the cookies.

The cupcakes were

chocolate with chocolate buttercream frosting 

topped with 

peanut butter football truffles.

Happy Thursday!
