I had the good fortune of getting to go to a brunch on Sunday with my sister of Savvy Southern Style and Babs of Upstairs Downstairs. We went to Sue's house of Rue Mouffetard. I'm sure many of you know these ladies already. This was my first time meeting Babs and Sue in person. There were many other bloggers there as well. I enjoyed getting to meet so many nice women.
Sue lives in a beautiful house. I wish I had remembered to get a picture of the outside of her house, but sadly I forgot. She lives in a lovely community with very well manicured lawns and iron fences in the front yards. Every house was photo worthy! I took my camera and tried to capture all the beauty to share with my readers.
When we first arrived, Sue had name tags set out for us to put on. I was glad she did, because I'm terrible with names! This was a great way for everyone to learn who each other was. She included our blog name on the tags too.
After we got settled in, Sue gave us a brief tour.
Her husbands office is to the left of the foyer.
Her dining room is to the right.
Straight ahead is the family room.
Outside of the family room is a beautiful back deck.
Off this back deck is a gorgeous pool and fireplace.
Part of the tour was getting to see her husband's newest toy!
Wow! That's one nice Ferrari!
Coming in from the garage, was a very spacious pantry. We were all in love with it!
My sister really loved the copper cow mold in there.
I thought her pantry reminded me of Paula Deen's.
Now into the kitchen where the heart of the brunch took place! It was a cooks dream. Sue enjoys cooking and entertaining, so she was the perfect hostess. Just take a look at all this wonderful food she whipped up!
She had a wonderful beverage station set up too.
Isn't this kitchen beautiful?
We feasted on quiche, ham, chicken salad and egg salad sandwiches, pasta salad, tomato soup, stuffed mushrooms, fruit, cheeses, hummus & crackers, tomatoes and mozzarella, muffins, yummy desserts, coffee and sodas. I'm sure I've left out something. There was so much food left over too! She could've fed an army. It was all homemade too. Yum!
After we ate, Sue gave away door prizes to those who won. Here is a shot of everyone having a good time with those.
Sue is the lady standing up in front of the coffee table.
Sue will be posting a group picture of everyone on her blog soon. We stood outside by her pool and her husband took the pic. I can't wait to see it. You can visit Sue at her blog Rue Mouffetard. It was certainly a fun way to spend a Sunday.
Hope everyone is having a good Monday!
