Yes, another Feast Box photo. 😄 As it turns out, I'm fully aware that none of you are here for my riveting social media content - we're here for the food!!

But these have been extra popular lately, and honestly, I can see why! The Feast Box is a great size for entertaining - lots of variety, plenty of food and a great selection of ingredients.

It just seems to check a lot of boxes when you're feeding a group! 🧀🍇🫒

So anyway....here's another Feast Box. Carry on. 😉

You may notice this Feast Box looks a little different! I normally use Kraft-coloured boxes, but when I went to order more of this size, they were out of stock.

Naturally, I panicked. 😂

So I ordered the white ones instead. And don't get me wrong - they're lovely! But I'm apparently more attached to my Kraft boxes than I realized. 🤗 They're a little different, they're taller (which I prefer!) and honestly, the white ones just don't feel quite as "Stagecoach" to me.

Of course, I didn't actually need to panic because I still have a couple of my original boxes left....and they're now back in stock. 🤦🏽‍♀️

So I'll be using up these beautiful white ones because I hate wasting anything, but then it's back to my beloved Kraft boxes we go!

This one worked out perfectly for a bride-to-be family gathering. 🤍🥂

Bachelorette party fuel! 🥂💍

These little Snack Boxes were packed up and ready to hit the road with the bridal party for their bachelorette festivities! 🍾

Because, let's be honest....a limo full of women on an empty stomach is a dangerous combination. 😂

A little cheese, meat, fruit and snacky goodness to keep everyone happily fed while they celebrate the bride-to-be!

Cheers to the bride, the bridal party and to memories that last a life time. 🥂💃🏼

Last night's grazing table came with a side of ulcer-inducing stress. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Arrived early, cut and laid out the butcher paper on the table, started setting up bowls, etc. Then we noticed an extra table and figured we could incorporate it into the grazing spread to expand the area. No problem.

Halfway through setup I thought, "Hmmm....why do I still have so much space to fill?" 🤔

Three-quarters through: "WHY DO I STILL HAVE SO MUCH SPACE?!" 😂

Then it dawned on me. I'd already cut my paper to the original size I needed and conpletely forgot to trim it after we decided to use the extra table!! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Cue frantic paper trimming and aggressively moving cheese closer together while guests were already arriving. I should have been out of there at least ten minutes earlier.

Thankfully, my clients were incredibly gracious and it all came together beautifully! The venue was decorated in a gorgeous, moody bourbon-and-cigars vibe, so I followed suit with the ingredients I chose. 🥃🧀

Such a great evening last night! ❤️

Frontenac County put on a fantastic evening showcasing Ben and Sjoukje and their absolutely fascinating business. And you know those jobs that exist where you think, "Okay, but who actually does that?"

Ben and Sjoukje do! 🤗

Castle Museum Solutions Inc. design and build completely custom shipping crates for transporting delicate and valuable things like paintings, museum artifacts and other artwork, as well as those incredible exhibit enclosures you see protecting pieces in museums, galleries and private collections.

We all already know and Sjoukje as the woman behind the amazing spices and treats from The Dutch Spice Mill . But her primary work? Restoring paintings.

WHAT?! 😂

I mean, how cool is that?! What incredibly unique local businesses and such a great reminder of just how many fascinating skills, talents and businesses exist right here in our own community.

Community was had. Food was eaten. Interesting things were learned. New connections were made. All in all, a fabulous evening!

Gorgeous flowers from Biederman Blooms! 🪻

And no, before anyone asks.....I did not bring my own tablecloths - didn't even think of it!! 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

I’m baaaack! 👋🏼😜

We had a little holiday last week, including our annual family pilgrimage to Canada’s Wonderland on Friday. 🎢

It started out overcast enough that I thought surely everyone else had decided to stay home.....and apparently, they did! The day turned absolutely gorgeous and there were ZERO. LINEUPS. I’m still not over it. It was remarkable.

I didn't quite manage a full holiday because apparently I'm incapable of completely stepping away from work. Between a few appointments and meetings that needed me home, I squeezed in a handful of orders on the days I could.

Including this little beauty! 👇🏼

All dressed up, loaded with deliciousness and ready to party. 🧀🍇🥂

And now I'm officially back to business as usual! 😎

Vacation mode: mostly activated! 😅

I'll be away from tomorrow until Sunday! Existing orders are still on the schedule, so no worries there. I'll just be pretending I know how to unplug for a few days. 😂

Back to regular business hours on Monday! 🫶

🧀 I ordered this one myself, from our sponsor Sarita Machado at Stagecoach Charcuterie in Sydenham, to introduce Dianne to the whole experience.

I sat in while she built it, which turns out to be the good part. Salami roses. A little honey jar with its own spoon. Dried citrus from Yellow Lion Apothecary and hand clipped florals from Scarlet & Rosie worked in alongside the cheeses and the fruit. Everything packed so tight that nothing shifts on the drive home.

It is a lot of box. The two of us happily made it last two sittings, which is where the overlay came from.

If you are looking for a gift that is not another bottle of something, this is the one. See how Sarita builds each box by hand: https://besteatsontarioeast.com/spotlight-stagecoach-charcuterie-sarita-machado-sydenham/?utm_source=KingstonSpotlight
