Teacher Appreciation Week!

This past week was Teacher Appreciation Week.  At my daughter's school we "appreciate" the whole school staff.  They all work very hard, (I know - my mom was a french teacher for many years) and we give them little treats all week long.  Then on friday, we host a luncheon for the staff.  Here are a few photos of the event...I decorated with a blue & brown theme.

First thing was to cover the plain wall.  I used craft paper in brown and blue, then added pretty wrapping paper (the triangle shapes) for fun and interest.
I hung branches from the ceiling.  On the branches I tied ribbons in varying shades of gold, brown, and blue.

The centerpieces were flowers from my yard.

More flowers from my yard, and I draped this column in beaded blue & brown fabric.  Gave it dress maker details with ribbon binding.  Then added a beaded trim at the top of the column.  Love the sparkly details!!!
~~A bit of glitter & glitz!~~

Chandelier crystals adorn the top, and rose leaves adorn the bottom of the vase.

Wrapping paper at the top of the vase...I used a paper punch to get the pretty pattern around the edge.

More wrapping paper for the buffet table background.  And more glitter paper too!!

Lots of yummy food in my silver trays...
The school staff enjoyed this lovely setting in the teachers' lounge for their relaxing lunch.

A very sweet lady named Kim made ALL of the desserts.  I take no credit for any of the food...I just display it...
 

We (PTA) also gave the staff members a nice tote bag as a gift. 
Food & Presents:
A good day for the school staff!
Treat your teachers well -- they work hard!  : )
