The party's over...
The barn that was so full of life and color on Sunday . . .
. . .is empty.
Time to pull down the crepe paper, fold up the quilts . . . Time to inventory leftover plates, cups, and party necessities; to make a shopping list for next year's party (more balloons); and to return the wood working shop to its true purpose. . .
The beer keg is all but empty; the cider keg is gone;
and Shopping Cart Lady has only a few cups left...
Party's over.

Well, it looks like it was a great party, and I'll bet everyone there had a really good time!
What an amazing feast, Vicki! Surely you don't do ALL the catering yourself??? I love the way everything was so well organised and even signposted ;) Your Shopping Cart Lady is ever so cute!
It was quite a transformation seeing it all return to the woodwork shed! It's about the 'funnest' thing I've ever heard of :)
Wow, your Easter was BUSY! The day after is always kind of an adjustment, eh?
Vicki
Well a day after wishing you & yours the blessings of the Easter Season.. it looked like mighty fine gathering
I have been MIA lately and missing your blog,
Springtime is always so lovely at your place.

Did all the food get eaten up? I presume people brought signature dishes with them? Who found the golden egg? Do you make the beer yourself and the cider? Seems like a great way to celebrate Easter - if you have the space, which you do have.
One more question - Did you make all the quilts yourself? and why do you hang them up on this occasion? Is it significant or just a form of decoration for the walls of the barn?
.... and a good time was had by all!
How wonderful Vicky to organize such a great happening! You are so brave to organize this party! I remember that you had it last year as well.I wish you a very happy week with lots of good memories.
Such a maker of magical memories you are Vicki.
Looks like you had quite a party Vicki. Love the shopping cart lady. She seemed to be waving good-bye.

whoa, did you say almost empty, if you need help cleaning, smiles...oh the party is just beginning...smiles...
cool little knight....
Desiree -- We barbecue a lot of pork and provide a keg of beer (a friend brought the keg of cider) and a lot of hot dogs. All the rest of the food is brought by the guests -- what we call a 'potluck' -- There is plenty of food and most of it gets eaten. We are well organized because we've had this party for thirty something years!
Star -- there are three separate egg hunt, divided by ages -- I can't remember the names of the kids who found the eggs -- there are so many that I only barely know. No, the beer and cider are store-bought. But our friend Cory is beginning to do a little home brewing...maybe someday...
About the quilts -- actually, it's a long story. I think I'll do a post on that later this week!
How on earth did Shopping Cart Lady come to be?
What a beautiful setup for a party! I so wish that we had a barn or shop like that. Beautiful quilts and I just love the sculptures!
Shopping Cart Lady looks as if she is asking you to get a good day's rest! ;-)
One can see that there was a lot of work and love invested, with good organizational skills and humor thrown in. Love the first picture of the deflated balloon. ;-)
looks like a lovely time!
It looks such fun, especially for the children - they'll have such happy memories. It's always quite sad to take down all the trimmings after a party.
Wow that was some party!!!
Vicki -- I had fun at your party via your blog. The music and the food were delicious -- barbara
Love your Shopping Cart Lady!
