Last week at the Meadows was pretty busy. What with a HUGE announcement of the recent Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes acquisition. It is pretty epic! Over the past year the Meadows Museum has acquired 8 new works, ranging from Miguel Jacinto Meléndez to the Stewart Album. (you can see these beauties for free on Thursday nights after 5:00p.m.)

For the opening I designed with the "spirit of collecting" in mind. I was so lucky to get to use these amazing mis-matched teacups and saucers from POSH Couture Rentals for the coffee bar, and small vintage plates for the buffets. Junior and Maria at the Garden Gate did the floral. SMU Catering provided the Spanish/Mediterranean displays of cheeses and meats, as well as fruit tarts, mini manchego flan, assorted truffles and other Spanish desserts. The linens are from La Tavola, Madeline Brown for the buffets, Tuscany Barley for the cocktail tables, and Tuscany Chocolate for the bistro tables. SMU catering also had custom chocolate gold coins made for us, in honor of launching our 50th anniversary ...coming soon in 2015!
