Va Fashion Doll Club March/ April Meeting- Barbie's Pets in the Park

Yesterday, On Sunday March 26th was my Va. Fashion Doll Club meeting. It was a combination March/ April meeting since Bradley is having his mini weekend in April and GAW is just around the corner for many of our club members, April is a very hectic month combined with the Easter holiday and spring break. Our club had just celebrated Barbie's  birthday earlier in March- I could not go it was my anniversary weekend - with the Betty Pickett purses- so this late weekend in March they decided to do Barbie's Pets in the Park. 

We did a wonderful selection of spring foods and I did my wonderful deviled eggs with our eggs that we get from the local farmer who has Japense silkie chickens- a delicate egg that is small but has a rich egg yolk and makes a wonderful deviled egg along with our homemade pickles. The club ladies loved them!

So onto the photos! Our meeting was held at the club president's home Debbie's house and her fabulous collection you will see pics of .

Our club is noted for refreshments! I have to say I ourdid myself on my deviled eggs with my homemade pickles. I did two trays of these on my vintage matching crystal egg platters and they were a hit. I did not use ordinary eggs but Japanese silkie eggs that I get delivered to me from a local farmer with regular eggs. (I don't buy eggs from the market, I just get farm fresh eggs from our local farms) They are a smaller egg and have a richer yolk. They are delicious when deviled and they ladies loved them.
