June Bug Gathering. Part 1: The Setting
This Nambahlicious gathering theme is “June Bugs” - all things insectoids! Found these plates at Savers: perfect for this theme!
In case any unwanted bugs showed up. Crowd control!
Fara’Asha came as a bee and brought the libations to start. Here she is mixing her nectar for the group.
The table is set for this beautiful Summer day!
Our photo backdrop is ready, just waiting for the shadows to settle.
Remember these?
