Hi BJ
This is not only a darling tablescape but a fun post. You are hysterical and for some reason I can't get chocolate out of my mind right now ;)
Love the red, and I will have to start cutting my lemons French Lique (I am sure I spelled that wrong) style as well. Very pretty.

BJ...this is my kind of lunch! And you have SUNSHINE!! I miss sunshine~it's just been rain, rain, rain! So I truly appreciate your al fresco lunch. The salad is a wonderful idea because I will probably want two helpings of the brownie. And I won't want a swimming pool after. I'll want a nap!!!
Have a great evening, my lady friend!!

Hi bj...
I am not on facebook that I am aware of. I joined the twitter thing and found it totally a loss for me. I didn't get it..and am really more into blogging which is about all I usually do. My grandchildren and some of my children are on facebook I think..but not me. I am wondering if I am still on it from going to look at family photo's that were posted. I have a hard time with some of my children about facebook AND about blogging. They disapprove of me doing it..and have gotten on me about posting photo's of the grands or of them...
It's been difficult. So..I took myself off facebook and stick to blogging. Even that has become somewhat of a problem of late. They think it puts me in danger...and them I guess. :)
At this age...LOL..what could they do...kill me? LOL Sorry...it just struck me funny.
Hugs..
Mona
Yummy!Hahha. GREAT post. Popping in from SITS!
goodness every time I come here I just wanna eat and eat, it's a long trip for me to cover over for a bit to eat though!
happy weekend bj
oh and love the sprinkles of fairy dust
Sarah
That tablescape is pretty darn cute BJ !! And the salad looks yummo-o-o-o-o-o ! I love those little piggies !
BJ!!!! Everything looks so yummy and you know I LOVE your red!!!! :) :)
Hugs,
Dena
You are amazing! I'm with you and French, I slice 'em! Your red and yellow are a marriage made in tablescape heaven--but your food. Oh, what a delight. Anyone who sits down to your table is indeed a lucky person.

(I'm late to visiting FF. I have been chasing a goat and plugging fence holes. lol AND I rescued a goat that had caught her head in the fence. :-))
Bj - you just know how to do it, don't you? Everything is set up perfectly and your meal is so appetizing I could just dive right in. I'm glad I stopped by today. ~ Robyn
You're killing me here. That choolate is sooooo yummy. My husband and I are starting the South Beach diet tomorrow. Tonight is our last real meal.
Just came by for another look at your delicious food! Hope you are having a good weekend.
This is just too cute! Love it:) My "Pigs in a Blanket" are a must-have for my husband's poker parties! Love this tablescape!
