Auguri Papa'

and Happy Father's Day to my Deano!!

he really deserves it today.

Some of you know he cooks for the vendors at the Chatau de Fleurs for the 2 days show. This month was BBQ chicken, potato salad, caponata and brownies for the Friday show. Fish tacos, fresh salsa, corn on the cob and crumb cakes for Saturday. Thank you Deano

I really love this show, like some of the vendors said " we are doing really well but what makes it special is the family atmosphere".

One new addition was the Trethowan growers with their amazing organic produce, eggs, honey, jam....

Raffaele volunteered to help Eva while she was shopping the other booths


Michael, Tricia's son was in charge of the drinks and the live entertainament. And hanging out with Michael was Peperoncino/Pudding/Emily, Lisa's daughter.
as always, Bella

I am so happy they are part of the Chateau because...I love red!

early Friday morning




Dyanna's booth

I have more to show you from every single vendor, but I think Deano is waking up. It's time to celebrate HIS day. Cappuccino on his way....Have a wonderful Sunday

Ciao for now
Rita

  1. What a great guy and I would have LOVED to been there the day of the fish tacos! One of these days, I swear I'm coming out to see all of you! But until then, I love the pictures of seeing ALL I missed!

    Take care, Sue

  4. Rita, this looks like an amazing show and everyone pitched in to make it special. What a wonderful place to have it! I saw a million things that I love, Sara's planters are a fave of mine. That seed packet design is just gorgeous. I would have loved to have been there!
