It was one of those days in Marrakech - sunny and breezy. Just the right sort of day to have a little lunch party in the garden. So the blogging girl and her family invited four couples and a flock of six children to spend the afternoon with them.
Naturally, six-year old Skylar decided to dress as Snow White. She thought it would be enchanting to sprinkle tiny flowers on the tables. Her prince charming -- a small blond boy named Finn -- was to be among the guests.
Roses from the garden were set in vintage Moroccan footed bowls.
And a handprinted tablecloth in pink and red was brought out of the linens closet. 
The children had the open air Berber tent to themselves. They sat on cushions on a sequined Moroccan kilim and whispered secrets at a low table made from a huge vintage Moroccan aluminum tray. 
Lunch was leisurely: spicy briouwates (a Moroccan dumpling) with tomato and coriander dipping sauce, roasted mashed potatoes with rosemary, 6 sorts of barbequed sausages, saffron chicken and vegetable brochettes, green beans in olive oil, and arugala and lemon salad.
And of course, there was tea and desert, served with idle chatter and laughter.
Before they knew it, it was nearly 6:00. Children's sweaters were buttoned for the journey home and suddenly everyone was spirited away....
... until another Saturday that is....
