Martha's Party in Maine

I LOVE the lanterns. Any idea where Martha came across those?

Looks like an awesome menu, but being in Maine- I thought there would be at least one dish with lobster.

That is right...most of that can be done a head of time & as well most of it is served cold. I have made the rice wraps for a party & just got all the ingredients ready then 1 of us softened the wraps while the other filled them. That's what I always liked about Martha's party ideas was that they are totally usable!

Robster, a lot of that stuff can be done ahead of time (the cheese straws, carrots, sausage and eggrolls) and then reheated right before the party.

Everything looks so lovely, but I wish I had the helpers that our Martha does for her parties. I could never do all that on my own for one party.
