Sadly, I didn’t think to take a picture of our party buffet (which was happily augmented by a batch of last-minute chocolate croissants, as well as a berry coffee cake, a dozen doughnuts, pear-ginger muffins, chocolate truffles, and white bean crostini brought by guests…) before it became unphotogenic.

However, here’s a picture of the other spread the party produced as friends arrived at our no-shoes-in-the-house house.

It was a good party.
