A grand day: April in PARIS 2011, part ONE

Our April in PARIS event at The PORCH & Atelier was grand! How could it not be? All the flowers~
Guests came in the door with fresh fleurs by the armload~

Chef Adam's menu received rave reviews (first course was a petite mix of artichokes, peppers, butter beans, Kalamata olives & Manchego cheese).

Trish, Ann, Patti and & Denise
