Table #22 Touches of Avon By: Tracy Payne, Ann Wood & Mary Ann Haar, Laylock Cottage Art & Design

These new friends and members of Garden Club of Hartford were happy to participate by creating this magical, fanciful tablescape inspired by the beautiful Wedgewood pattern, aptly named AVON!

Table #14 “Thanks for the Post ” By: Tracy Gerace, Volunteer | H.O.P.E. Partners of Farmington

It's just like magic today to get a text or message instantly from friends and family. Back in 1908, Mildred Henry loved getting postcards from friends and family. Imagine how exciting it must have been! She lived in the Farmington Valley her whole life, mainly in Riverton. She was my grandfather's cousin. Luckily for us, she saved all of these postcards. It is now my pleasure to share them with you! Enjoy!

Table #13 Guess Whose Coming to Dinner  By: The Garden Club of Avon | www.gardenclubofavonct.org

Come greet our guests (birds, bees and butterflies!) as they dine on their favorite cuisine. Discover a wide range of pollinators who visit our own back yards throughout the year.

Table #27 Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries By: Susan Talbot

The sweetness of cherries has inspired this tablescape, which features four pieces of original art, each depicting its own “bowl of cherries.” Also featured are several pieces of vintage red & white enamelware, enhancing the cheerful and happy mood. Enjoy!
