Good morning! Today I’m sharing pictures from a gorgeous ladies’ luncheon I was invited to yesterday. We were first welcomed into the kitchen, where our hostess served sparkling champagne sangrias—each glass whimsically decorated with a basil leaf clipped to the rim with the tiniest clothespin. (I’m absolutely stealing that idea!) While we chatted and sipped, servers passed around tiny half figs topped with warm, melty baked brie—heavenly little bites.

Then we were invited outdoors, and as I rounded the corner to the pergola, I actually swooned at the sight before me: a table dressed in the most beautiful shades of citron, lime, and yellow, glowing in the afternoon light. Of course, I took plenty of photos so you could enjoy it too.

There’s something about summer that just begs for a perfect BLT—juicy garden tomatoes, crisp lettuce, smoky bacon, and good bread. Every year, we turn it into a celebration with our Summer Golf Buddy BLT Party, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite seasonal traditions.
