take me back to last saturday night

 

Twinkle Bell Secret Dinning Fellowship

 

Oh what a night!

 The day started off with a prediction of 60% chance of evening thundershowers but somehow with the kitchen gods watching over us the rain held off and instead presented a cool enchanted evening for Twinkle Bell's debut!

 

The week prior was filled with craziness! Many farms and artisans where visited to supply the dinner's bounty. A big thanks to all whose hard work and dedication to produce beautiful local & organic products.
