Friendsgiving Charcuterie Workshop

Hello friends! For those that celebrated, I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving Day. My husband had the day off work (for a change) and we enjoyed a nice meal with a dear friend that we invited to share the evening with us. After cooking a turducken (at the request of a friend) last year and all the fixins', this year I opted for catering from our local grocery store - way less work and mess. We had a traditional meal with ham instead of turkey, opened a nice bottle of wine and enjoyed a day of rest before the busyness leading up to Christmas.

Today I am sharing photos from another festive event I attended over the weekend. I took a Friendsgiving Charcuterie Workshop at KC Wine Co with a VERY fun group of friends! This was such a great event - and while I didn't really need a class on how to build a charcuterie board, I did learn a few things. The workshop was held in the incredible KC Wine Co Black Barn (a fabulous venue) and it was decorated beautifully for the holidays. There were thousands of twinkling lights, a full-size sleigh, lots of colorful trees and special cocktails for the holidays. The class included a 9" x 9" disposable plate to craft on, class materials and a take home box, crafting tips, and a complimentary glass of wine (we all had the hard cider - I had the Caramel Apple Pie Hard Cider and it was delish!). The workshop was sold out and the tables were decorated beautifully - each tray had a mini jar of honey with wooden dipper and a cute selection of autumn cocktail picks/skewers. We thoroughly enjoyed building our own boards...then we had a holiday cocktail together and watched the first half of the Chiefs game. I tried the Mistletoe Margarita (so good!) that came in an adorable glass that I was able to take home. Best of all, I had quality time with some of the wonderful women in my life...and that was just what I needed!
