Hosting the Perfect Hitchcock Night.....

Last week we had a special evening with our friends over at 

Beeker's General Store in Pemberville!

Our guests stopped at Beeker's first for some delicious Pumpkin Soup

 and hors d'oeuvres and they got to make a sweet paper pumpkin...

and then they traveled to our store where we had a surprise waiting for them!

All summer we've seen the 

Outdoor Movie Theaters 

on Pinterest...

so we decided to try it ~ and it was

SO

MUCH

FUN!

We sat up chairs with a blanket for everyone...

and stapled a twin sheet to the trees for our screen.  

We then sat the projector up and waited patiently for our guests to come!

{such goofy sisters!}

We served their meal on foil cake pans 

with our fun Halloween napkins covering the bottom!

Wrapped the silverware up....

and then we decided to add a 

beaded spider to the silverware

Everyone got a Hot Foil Pocket 

with a Ham & Cheese Croissant enclosed

with some Pear & Cranberry Coleslaw

We didn't get a picture of dessert...

but you can get that recipe here:

Go ahead...check it out...in less than 30 seconds  

you'll know how to make the easiest dessert EVER!!

Then everyone went out to sit by the bonfire 

until the movie was ready to start

 Shhhhh!!!

The movie is starting! 

And of course...after everyone finished their meal

we handed out bags of popcorn...

 The weather was perfect...

We couldn't have asked for a better night!!

We watched two short Hitchcock films:

The Cheney Vase and The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Everyone raved about how much fun this was...

We hope that we've inspired you to have your own

Outdoor Movie Theater in the future!

Have a wonderful week everyone!
