Cape Creations Catering: Telfair Artful Table Preview Party at the Jepson Centre, Savannah GA

The Telfair Artful Table Preview Party was held on Thursday April 4 this year at the Jepson Centre in lovely Savannah Georgia. What a wonderful evening. The theme this year was ‘Chairs by Design’. The guest speaker at the lecture/luncheon the following day was Peter M. Kenny who is the Ruth Bigelow Wriston Curator of the American Decorative Arts and Administrator of the American Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.

I had the honour of being the co-chair, together with the wonderful Lucy Jones, of the vignettes. The vignettes make up a huge part of the event. We approached a number of designers, florists, businesses and friends asking if they would like to design or sponsor a vignette. Our wonderful designers really embraced the theme and came up with such different vignettes.

On the Thursday night guests attended the Preview Party where they enjoyed delicious bites from various local restaurants and libations from the awesome crew of Charlie Ganem. The following day guests attended the lecture by Peter Kenny at the Lucas Theatre and then were bussed back to both the Jepson Centre and the Telfair Academy for lunch. Bidding on the Tiny Tables closed just prior to lunch.

On Monday April 8, the designers once again returned to the Jepson Centre for the Telfair Academy Guild meeting where they and their vignettes were once again featured. It was so interesting to hear from the designers their inspiration for their vignettes.

I thought I would share photos of the various vignettes – the designers outdid themselves!
