Joanna's Bridesmaids' Luncheon

My cousin Joanna got married this past August.  The wedding was in the North Carolina mountains, a beautiful retreat from the heat of summer.  My mom and her cousin, Cathy, hosted a gorgeous bridesmaids' luncheon at the Mast Farm Inn, an historic bed and breakfast in Valley Crucis.

 The beautifully packaged gifts for the bridesmaids.

Mom made these incredible-looking and delicious cakes.  The one in the center had charms for each of us to pull.

 So happy privileged to be a party of this pretty lady's special day!
