Pasta night.

2 Comments Posted by on January 4, 2012

Over the holiday weekend one of my friends hosted a pasta-making get together. I’ve never made fresh pasta before — it seemed way too complicated for me — but I was happily surprised to see it wasn’t too difficult at all! I helped with the dough making process, but my expertise was really in the [...]

I snapped a few pictures on my phone on before guests arrived on New Years Eve. It was a fun-filled night with good friends and bubbly drinks. I’m still working on my resolutions for this year; I need a few days to recover from celebrating first!

I thought I’d share the moodboard I’ve been working on — it’s going to be a pink, black and white girly extravaganza. One [...]

Easter goods.

I was reminded that Easter is just a few weeks away after seeing an adorable selection of paper goods and decorations on Mit Hus. The bunny oil cloth and mini toadstool decorations are cute enough to leave on the table all spring, and the liberty-inspired paper goods are so cheerful. I don’t have any Easter hosting [...]

I hosted my book club for brunch this weekend and had fun setting the table with a new tablecloth and some Spring flowers. Champagne glasses and cloth napkins made a get together with the girls a little more special. I served popovers and fruit salad, and some delicious whole wheat banana pancakes with cinnamon butter, [...]

We had tons of fun, but then again, how can you not when the champagne is flowing and the cupcakes are stacked high?

Good as gold.

When it comes to entertaining, most of my dishes and glassware are white and clear, then I can have fun with accessories and linens to switch up the theme. I think that gold is the new neutral and is also a perfect backdrop for lots of color combinations too. Plus a touch of sparkly metallic makes [...]

Too pretty for eating.

Eddie Ross is a genius. This table setting is so phenomenal, I would genuinely feel bad eating off those plates. I love it so much, I want to frame it — or at least start scavenging etsy for some French opaline glasses. Check out his how-to on his blog!
