Nothing quite screams 'Summer Dinner' like a good old fashioned Maine lobster boil. Granted I've never been to Maine, this weekend's dinner took me on a fantasy getaway to the shore. Amy's table featured seaside touches and magical lighting that felt like fireflies were keeping the table aglow. For the details on our lobster bibs (complete with lobster trivia!), click here to see Amy's DIY on design sponge! This decadent meal was the perfect entertaining equation: luxurious ingredients plus messy, hands-on eating equals a raucous, casual al fresco summer evening.

Annie, that party was beautiful and delicious. I haven't stopped talking about it. Imagine my surprise to find all the great pictures. You are amazing! Joan McNamara
Hi Annie,
Hanging out w/your mom, lounging at the pool, now admiring your food dishes and mushroom photos. It would be fun to have a big mushroom hunt next spring. If you want to hook up w/real hunters w/guns you know where to find them :)
Love you,
Aunt Suzie
HI Annie,
Suzie's teaching me how to comment on your blog post, aren't you happy? Very nice comments from Joan. Can't wait to hear this week-ends menu.
Love,
