we have been friends with annette joseph for probably 15 years...it has been fun to watch her career grow and she has remained as fun as she ever was...she reached out to us this spring and asked us to host and style a supper for atlanta magazine's newly relaunched magazine, Home. we immediately thought about using sweet olive farm as the setting and began asking various friends if they would contribute to the party...our friend mimi agreed to help with the food and our friends bain and amanda said they would help with the beverages...
we picked a spot in the piney woods, and brought in everything that was needed for a dinner- the tables, plates from r.wood studio, flowers, etc...we loved the improvised crudité platters that we banged out from a slab of wood and nails...! and, kristen made some gelatin-printed napkins and also set up a kids activity, a nature weaving craft. while we were setting everything up, a few farm visitors came and checked in on us (see below)...
around supper time, our families and friends arrived and we all sat down and enjoyed a great meal and delicious drinks together. thanks, annette, for letting us have fun like this!
