Marion's 80th

Spring has truly arrived here in the Bay Area. Flowers are blooming everywhere.Today's post is a "Spring Inspired" menu for Marion Cunningham's 80th birthday,a delicious Sunday supper at Chez Panisse Restaurant.I printed a botanical line drawing of a crocus onto vintage paper and hand-lettered a birthday message on the ribbon.I hand-painted each menu with soft water based inks.Here is the inside of the menu, I hand-lettered each course using a mixture of my favorite lettering styles.I love that there were EIGHTY different sweets for dessert!
