While eating crepes last Saturday, Mike and I talked about how it would be so nice to do so with friends. So this past Saturday, fifteen friends came over (toppings in hand!) for crêpes. I don't think we've ever had so many people over in the morning before, but it was awfully nice.
Looks like a wonderful time...I could go for a crepe right about now...;-)
ReplyDeleteSarah told me about this! I thought it was such a fun idea! I told her that I thought National Crepe Day in France was some time around this time......I just looked it up, it's February 2nd! So you celebrated just perfectly :)
ReplyDeletewow! what timing :)
Deletewhat a great idea to switch it up. we love crepes in this house.
ReplyDeletewordy, how I would love to do that. english people would never do this; I think I'll have to come to America to do it. yes.
ReplyDeleteor canada! ;) i'm a canadian girl!
Deleteyes indeed, canada too! I really want to go to canada. and alaska. and the world. :-)
DeleteFor months I've followed your blog and I love reading it. Your pictures are beautiful and what I love most about your blog is that it's clutter free. No advertisements, nothing to distract you from the content and the gorgeous photographs. My only complaint is you don't write enough :)
ReplyDeletethank you so much! hehe, yes, sorry i don't post more often... it's busy with university (my last semester!) and i always take less photos when it's winter because it's so rotten outside :(
DeleteGood luck with your last semester. We're based in Dubai so have a pleasant winter (20 degrees C) :)
DeleteThat seems so lovely! A nice way to have people over while still eating delicious food! I am going to do this too-- Come over... THERE WILL BE CREPES.

ReplyDeleteYUMMY!!!!
ReplyDeleteMuch love, Bailey from Vanilla Blonde
delicious! what a great idea to have a breakfast party.
ReplyDeleteI made a similiar party a few years ago and we still remember it as one of the most successful! Here also it looks like everyone is having fun!
ReplyDeleteso lovely! Brunch is my favorite time to get together with friends. There's just something about yummy food, coffee and the sunshine with friends that feels so good.
ReplyDeleteHow fun...sounds like a great time with friends :)
ReplyDeleteyum, yum! this looks like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love these photos. Morning gatherings are the best, I think.
ReplyDelete...and it sounds and looks awfully nice!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea.
Sounds like wonderful plans! May have to plan a morning filled with friends and crepes myself, :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea! We did this one evening here awhile ago and I would love to do it again.
ReplyDeletethis is an awesome idea. i may have to steal it.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, love this!! However it makes me wonder at what time you got up that morning, as I can imagine it took lots of time to make crepes for 15 people :-)

we probably weren't eating the crepes till eleven, and i had assistance in the kitchen! so not too bad :) (i will admit though, waking up early to clean the house was not my favourite!)
Deleteevery thing looks yummy
ReplyDeleteWhat I wouldn't give to live in your neighborhood and come over for a morning gathering like this!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun! Great idea! You always seem to do such fun things :)
ReplyDeleteOh, geez. Everyone is making me so overwhelmingly hungry this morning. But socially hungry, now? Too much charm. We did this in the summer, time for another one, methinks!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea! you guys have so many wonderful people in your lives. xox
ReplyDeleteabsolutely true! we're lucky.
DeleteWhat a wonderful reason to gather people.
ReplyDeleteLooks fun & tasty!
ohh I dream of having so many true friends in my life. you're really special, Janis ! ;)
ReplyDeleteAw wow! My Oma and Opa had those same dishes as the one in the first photo with the boy and girl on them (in the greens, blues and purples). My momma has them now and they are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have been reading for awhile from Halifax NS and thought I should say HI!
Happy Winter!
Morning gatherings with friends are pretty much the best. If/when you and your posse begin to start families, morning gatherings become a convienient option. (Everyone's up early anyway!)
ReplyDeleteSuch a warm space you have created here.
This would be such a wonderful tradition to start. crepes are a favorite breakfast dish.
ReplyDeleteHope to try this soon:)

OOOh! What is your crepe recipe? And WHAT may I ask is that lovely jam looking stuff?
ReplyDeleteyes! i will get this to you. sorry for the delay!
Deletei think the jam looking stuff was a strawberry sauce?
okay! here's the recipe!
Delete3 eggs
1 3/4 cups of milk
1.5 cups of flour
.5 tsp salt
1. Combine the flour & salt in one bowl.
2. Mix the eggs and milk in another bowl w/ a whisk.
3. Combine the wet mixture into the dry and whisk.
That's it! :)
These pics are great. That was an excellent morning.... I'm still dreaming of all those delicious crepes and their equally delicious fillings:)
ReplyDeleteThis is the best! There is something about doing a gathering out of the ordinary that makes it that much more special.
ReplyDeletethis looks like so much fun! and love the photos :-)
