Congratulations to Helen Conwell. She has won $250 in cash and merchandise for submitting the winning entry in Contessa's Set the Stage™ Photo Contest. Helen's creative entry brought to life an ocean marine theme right down to the dishes and the table decorations.
Helen's philosophy includes, "Any occasion can justify having a party, and any party can make an ordinary day a holiday." This occasion happened to be a reunion of girls who had gone to school together from kindergarten to high school in Mobile, Alabama.
Setting the Stage for Helen included a tablecloth with a crab-checkered pattern, fish-shaped plates, glass fish decorations in the center along with glass fish bubbles for emphasis. Helen served her Contessa shrimp dish in theme-appropriate abalone shells.
Helen is 84 years old, and is a retired physician. Helen says, "Cooking is probably my favorite creative outlet—particularly appealing because it seems to please others as well as myself."
Again, congratulations to Helen from CONTESSA PREMIUM FOODS! We hope Helen's creativity inspires you to Set the Stage™ for your next gathering around the dining table.
