Today I made CANDY APPLES for the Ladies Luncheon our church is having this Saturday. I made a couple over the weekend that turned out great and so thought today as I made the REAL batch...I'd share photos...and a sneak preview of the colors and flowers for the luncheon decor.
The theme this year is "THE HAPPY HOMEMAKER"
Proverbs 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.
The ladies attending are making homemade pies for a pie contest..and also making aprons for the cutest apron contest. Those I can't wait to see!! So stay tuned for the post The Happy Homemaker's luncheon.
I also chose to use a County Fair theme as the decor....thus the cute sunflowers. I love these flowers. They seem to be a cross between a daisy and sunflower..and the red poppies I found just at the last minute. PERFECT!
The decor has red and white check, polka dots (I love polka dots!!) and some butter cream yellow spread about...I just happen! to have butter cream plates..and one red one..while another gal in the church had four red.
JUST what I needed. The LORD is so good!! This happens to me EVERY year...truthfully. I find myself looking for or thinking of a certain item or color..and then VOILA..it shows up! You'll have to read on down in my post about last years Brown Betty Teapot (I just happen to own for a very special occasion).
As is this year...many things that just fall into place and give me confidence that this is what the LORD wanted me to do. I pray and plan this every year. This is the 7th year...though probably my last to be totally in charge. My health is starting to be affected by all the time consumed and it would be good for some of our younger women to form a little committee and learn this for the ministry. Some of them have husbands attending Bible School and some are already making preparations for the mission field. Just the experience alone of planning an event and knowing how much of this and that is needed is a good lesson.
We are having a very special lady as our guest speaker for the luncheon as we also prepare for a weeks meeting of preaching with her husband.
I love this photo of the apples lined up...they look like an army ready for battle..they are going to be attacked you know!
The recipe is simple and the technique surprised me. I used my Fry Daddy to keep the temp at 250 and the clean up was a breeze with HOT soapy water.
Have a SWEET day!
