Hosted this "bye bye" party for Kelly at work today.

| Table decor |
 |
| The food table. The veggies and pretzel sticks were supposed to resemble a tree branch with leaves. |
 |
| More table decor...see the pretty green dried hops? |
 |
| "Acorns" that Allison put together...they are Hershey's Kisses, mini Nutter Butters and peanut butter chips on top, all held together with a little melted chocolate. |
 |
| Toadstool cupcakes |
 |
| Closeup of the veggie and pretzel "branch." |
 |
| The food table, again. |
Most all the decor items were from the Dollar Store - the rocks, the moss, the glass cylinders, the little bits of organic matter (it was a bag of Dollar Store "potpourri" that did not smell. Of anything. At all.). The plates and napkins were also from the Dollar Store. The pinecones and the hops were from my alley. All the dishes were mine. The burlap and brown butcher paper were from my stash. The light mossy tablecloths came from Zurchers.
There was a big bowl of pesto hummus that I made (I have ridiculous amounts of fresh basil), a cream cheese log that was made with cream cheese, grated parmesean, fresh chives, basil and parsley from my garden; then rolled in crushed pepitas and fresh cracked black pepper. All the pretzels were from the dollar store - rods, little sticks and butter braids. Veggies, crackers and dips were store bought. The cucumbers were freshly sliced from my garden.
The guest of honor loved the decor so it all worked out!
