Springfield Trolley & Lake Springfield Party Barge

Post-Wedding Pancake Bar

Perfect for a Sunday Brunch. The pancakes have letters written on them in powdered sugar. Love the labels for the syrups and fruit toppings too!

DIY Chalkboards & H2o Station

Thought I might try to make some of these chalkboard signs to lean against the walls behind my wine tasting station and/or the bar (can't hang anything).
