Mom's Night Out: Use What You Have Decorating

Last week I was in charge of
setting up a Mom's Night Out
for my M.O.P.S group.
(Mother's of Preschoolers)
 
With a theme, of course.
Valentine's Day.
Throw in a spa treatment
and a movie and we had a
great time with a "night off"
from the everyday routine.
 
 
 
I decorated with things I had
from home. The deep red
tablecloths, the server,
roses, etc. Things I had
grabbed during my
20 minute tablescape here.

I decided to make spritz cookies
using the heart shape and I think
my cookies turned out not only
delicious but they looked
great on this three tiered server.
(I threw in some chocolate to
mix it up...momma's NEED
their chocolate!)

Another Mom brought these
homemade heart sugar cookies.
Look how she frosted them!
Gorgeous! And a depression glass
 plate to serve them on, too.
Delightful!

Here was the table by the time
the rest of the mom's had arrived
with their dessert or appetizer.
We know how to party!


I decided to add some signage
to give it a "salon" look for the
spa treatment.


We didn't forget the punch...
Red for Valentine's Day!


A little mood lighting and we
were all set to watch our movie.
And what did I choose?
The hilarious
Dan in Real Life.
 
A great night of food,
relaxation and fun!
 
I hope you enjoyed a peek
into my life as a
Mom...my full time job!
 
Up next, a peek at
an old lighthouse we visited
this past weekend.
 
I not only love to talk
about antiques, but I also
love history and historical
places...
 
PLUS.... something new for you
from BellaRosaAntiques.com!
 
Stay tuned!

Jillian,
Hi! Love your MOPS outing and the way you decorated it for a SPA outing and movie. Great tablescape using just the things around your house. I'm sure the ladies appreciated all the work done for their pleasure! I hope you come over to The Daisy Chain and see my latest (and very late) blog!
Love,
Ms.Daisymau
