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
