Is this really what I look like? Deer meet headlights, Headlights meet deer.
Bahn Mi? Yes, please, and thank you.
That’s the most beautiful deer I’ve seen in ages, headlights or not
Holy FOOD PORN! Looks like you had a great time! Love Vietnamese banh mi!
OMG I am soooo hungry. what a mistake to see the yummy endive, lamb, cupcakes…..it looks fabulous. How do I get invited?
I love how pretty all the food does, and the blogger
This is amazing!! I’m SO incredibly proud of you! I knew that everything would come together perfectly with you behind it. You, the venue and the food all look beautiful!! I can’t wait to hear all of the details — call me when things settle down. Love you lots xoxo
Congratulations on all your hard work coming to fruition!
Oh, and please send me a salted caramel cupcake.
Thanks Julie!! You’re such a sweetheart. I shall send you a million salted caramel cupcakes!
Oh my goodness, all that food looks delicious!!! Love your outfit, too! Too cute
Mmmmm Lamb chops
It all looks AMAZING. Congrats on what looks like an incredible event. I want to eat those salted caramel cupcakes now! Please tell me a Seattle bakery makes the, regularly. I will totally drive 3 hours and cross international borders for those cupcakes.
Looks like a fun time!
Everything looks amazing. Chocolate Pink Salted Vanilla Caramels? Salted cupcakes? I’m so glad I wasn’t there. You’d have to roll me out.
Hahahah! You look awesome! What a foodgasmic event ( yes I say words like that in real life)
!
Hahaha, love you Sana!
what an amazing event!
I have TOTAL appreciation for the work that went into planning this! When I worked in Admin, at my current job, we put on a yearly conference..and a few other big events, and it CONSUMED us for months.
I loved seeing it all put together, but our regular “work” got so backlogged because of it.
we certainly didn’t have food like that, and it WAS for boring ole board members, haha but seeing it all come together was pretty rewarding!
this must have been SO gratifying for you!
you were certainly the right lady for the job!
xo
Wow! Now I’m super hungry and I still have 3 hours till lunch. You look great! I do love your deer in a headlights comment though. Hope you ate an extra salted caramel cupcake for all of us out in blogland. They look divine.
