Spring Dinner Party


Greetings my lovely readers! My apologies for the radio silence and thank you for your nice notes. No, I have not been on vacation, just slammed with my day job and not able to devote as much time and creative energy to the blog.

Last week I hosted a small fete for some of my favorite friends I wanted to share a few of the details with you. The flowers are roses, lilies, hydrangeas and snap dragons. One tip for you: I use the florist at Whole Foods and they do a beautiful job for 1/2 the cost of a high-end florist. I asked for a fresh and modern centerpiece to match my custom tablecloth from DWELL


The place cards are from ALEXA PULIZTER  Fun, right?
For the main course I dusted off an old classic - Chicken Marbella from the Silver Palate. RECIPE

Set A Spring Table


Everywhere I look in Boston there are piles of snow that will likely linger until April. With the forecast calling for rain/sleet/snow mix for the next three days I am dreaming of spring! I have a set of HEN HOUSE LINENS and I love their products. Luh-ve! 


Jenny Davis is the head of the company and a native of North Carolina. She believes in true southern hospitality and enjoying a good meal with family and friends. Be sure to check out their products and stock up for spring entertaining.

And the Oscar Goes To....


I look forward to the Oscars every year and always have at least a few folks over to sip some bubbles and enjoy the show. Seth McFarlane went to school with my brother so I can't wait to see what he has in store as the host for the evening! Here are some fun and simple ideas to add to your Oscar fete.

I love these DIY Oscar statues to include on your table setting HERE


How about a table like this one from Martha Stewart? Mix and match votives or even use Moroccan tea glasses as holders. Details on how to make your stars HERE


Or stars on the back of each chair
