After morning tea our guest speaker had fun writing poetry with our students. I had prepared a power point presentation of my library displays from over the years and explained to my colleagues just how I had made them. Another librarian had also prepared a presentation which she shared with us all. It was such an inspiring day.
Lunchtime arrived and as my favourite thing to do is set a table I did just that. I received so many wonderful comments from the girls. I had covered books with black and white paper for a display at the giftshop so they seemed perfect for a library lunch. Everything else I had either at home or at the beach house. It was a very simple lunch with finger food and I had made individual desserts for everyone. Such a great day!
This is the first time I have done anything like this and it was just fabulous.

Wow, this is truly amazing. I love the decor and all the food looks delicious. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Your tablescape is beautiful, and the food....yummmm!
I'm going to hazard a guess that none of the others had EVER seen a set-up like this at a school? :-) I guessing they thought they might get a cracker and a wedge of cheese with a store-bought cookie on a paper napkin. But, NO! Suzy to the rescue! Wonderful job! I love the black & white color scheme (perfect for librarians since books are printed in black ink on white paper!), and the food all looks so fun! Great idea to cover the books! Very pretty, Suzy!!!
Suzy! Everything really looks great. I really like the black and white theme and the food all looks delicious!!
You did an amazing job setting the table! It's gorgeous! Love the pretty flowers and covered books! Did you make the food as well!? ...lovely! :)
