Marie's florist practice of using sustainably grown (wild) flowers is super trendy, fashionable and responsible. As are the jam jars. If she was in charge of these bouquets, which I don't think she was, she would have used lower vases so guests can see each other across the table.The flower/weed/flora-from-the-underworld arrangements are a big FU to all her patrons. Surely, she had the means to do better,
and yet she went with this

Followed by a nice break because they did so much work and deserve it…
When I make VIP can I come to your parties?When I have a party I put a vintage Pepsi vending machine on the patio and fill it with long neck beers. Some of which may or may not be Miller Light. That’s my level of dedication. Shrimp my husband caught, hand pulled pork cooked in the pit for hours, cushioned patio furniture and nibbles and drinks in every main room of the house. If you make it to 3 am the moonshine comes out of the garage fridge.

I wouldn’t be happy to sit in a crowded outbuilding for that lunch no matter how much boxed wine was available.So they spent some money on hired tables and chairs, raided the attic for fabric to use as tablecloths. Chateau Lagorce, isn't that Ed and Anna's place.
The bakery got a good order crocquembouch for three different days.
And so while I read this forum, I often think of my grandmother and her many sayings. She often addressed us with sayings when she wanted to end the conversation. Short and clear.Everything is relative and by Fanny's standards I think it is a reasonable effort-look what she did for the paying guests for the music workshop. I wouldn't have plonked people on school chairs, I would have ironed table clothes, if she was going rustic she could have done something like this https://www.sarahk.co.uk/collection...ucts/pink-ditsy-ruffle-edge-floral-tablecloth. I always over cater (a family trait). I would however say I bet you the patrons lapped this up, just being in her aura probably is enough for them. If I had been Fanny I would have done the lunch on the terrace or if they needed to be inside it would have been in the entrance hall. Alas I am not Fanny, if I was I wouldn't dream of taking in excess of $33,000 a month from complete strangers. Not meaning to be too judgemental, but from the photos they don't look a particularly well heeled bunch which to me makes it even worse. I definitely would have done the cheese on a beautiful board with an abundance of figs, nuts and pears and I would have used linen napkins too, but I bet the cult members are euphoric and about to up their monthly contributions. We have a jaundiced view of her here but they think she is a precious little angel
No need to wait, come on…When I make VIP can I come to your parties?

Looks like you-know-who did the flowers/weeds. Love the look of having 'floral arrangements' just at eye level so you have to dodge them when talking to the person across from you. Clever vases! So French, oui, oui!The flower/weed/flora-from-the-underworld arrangements are a big FU to all her patrons. Surely, she had the means to do better,

This was only day 1.... let's see how the next 2 days go...regarding the choice of 'venue' chosen as the dining area, it was probably warmer in the garage than it would've been indoors...I guess a lot of us are pleasantly surprised that the first day seems to have been pulled off. It just goes to show what a low bar we apply to her efforts. They probably chose the old garage in case of rain. They could provide cover without bringing everything inside and accommodating the “guests” inside. Wouldn’t want the riff raff in the inner sanctum.
Someone mentioned the state of the silver platter chosen to serve the cheese. I guess Mary Poppins didn’t get that one to polish. Marble or wood would have a better choice. At the end of the day I did think the food looked a lot better than a lot of ones we have seen. I really thought that some disaster was going to prevent the event from happening.
oh boy, if I travelled all the way there to have some frail looking lunch in a place that looks like storage, I would be MAD and disappointed! All that dust going into the food ummm no thanks yuk yuk yukThank you @Le Baiseur, it is not an easy task to start a new thread.
I have done it once.
@ComtesseRose for keeping us on track.

Now, about the patron's garage luncheon.... an oil tank, the Lalande door and window salvage, stacked fire wood, not to be out done by school room seating, it is a shameful display. No one looks happy.

I think she could have served up gruel topped with fruits from the garden and they'd have loved it. It was never about what they would have to eat it was always the meet and greet, who they would get to chat to, would they get to meet their Chatalain, who would make them feel special, which rooms would they get to see. Lielande and its cast in real life, not through the eye of a lens, the whole experience of such 'grandeur' I use the word loosely but for most of them they can overlook the crumbling facade, because at some point it's going to dealt with right? The idea of being in a real living (ok half dead) 16th century historical building (I'm almost believing this myself). They were being invited into the fairy tale and you can tell from their comments they have had their dreams fulfilled...Yes why did it surprise me that they pulled it off, lots of practice feeding slop to the elderly that’s why mummy had to be there, the original nurse ratchet

Never doubt the skillset of our @Clara Burnett she will be keeping her cards close to her chest, it's only day 1 the grand finale is still to come... I think @Isabel123 and her allies will know if and when the time is right to strike or maybe choose not to on the day but come away armed with more ammunition.. Guess we'll have to be patient and trust that all goes well for them.I’m more of a lurker on here but I’ve been following for little updates on the PD. Really thinking Clara had been rumbled at this point. Doesn’t look like many showed up going from the pictures so easier to her spot maybe?
