Her home is relaxing and inviting.
And everything she does is so beautifully presented. From the sambousa with tamarind sauce ...
to egg salad sandwiches ...
and lemon cake for dessert.
She also had pretty embroidered linens to share. They are handmade by ladies in India for charity so, of course, I had to buy a few.
These lovely little packages were just for me.
A little box with mother of pearl lid and lovely sandalwood incense.
I hope your day is filled with relaxing moments and the pleasures of friendship. Peace & Blessings, Tammy
Tammy - I love these photos. Your friend sounds like the kind of hostess I aspire to be. Thank you for sharing this inspiring post. Blessings to you!

Enjoy your day as well. Blessings ;-)
You can tell that she is a thoughtful person. Everything looks so pretty and delicate. Love the linens! They remind me of some my late grandma left, and some I got last year with Christmas embroidery.
ReplyDeletehave a great, hopefully less busy, day! :o)
Wow! We actually have Martha Stewart's twin in Kuwait. Your pictures looked like something directly from out of a magazine. Does she have kids? Kudos to her if she did as I know mine would of had those lovely items in the first picture probally on the floor and half broken...lol! Glad you got some R&R. Who needs to go to a spa when you have friends like her...you are very lucky:)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you take time from a life that sometimes gets just crazy to just enjoy a friend and all her love. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteSo, what was the first food you showed? It looks good..and everything was so wonderfully presented..isn't it nice to know someone who will make the extra effort for you? Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice way to spend the afternoon. My hat is off to anyone who presents everything so nicely. My food usually tastes pretty good, but my presentation is not worth sharing... I am glad you got to enjoy the company of a good friend after a long day of work and busy moments. Hope you followed the afternoon with some quiet time full of crochet, cross stitching and creativity!!
ReplyDeleteLove you,
Renee
Lovely luncheon, and beautiful linens. Would love to have some of those. Great to support the ladies.
