At long last, nearly three months later, I wanted to take a moment today to share my baby shower! In my line of work, I’ve seen dozens of beautiful baby showers. With that in mind, we wanted to do something really special, but at the same time I wanted to keep things simple. We opted to have …
Fall Parties
Sometimes it makes good sense to start the day with something super pretty. When it’s the week before Thanksgiving and that something happens to be in the form of a gorgeous Thanksgiving table and the yummiest looking dessert buffet you ever did see, well, then it’s even more appropriate. Today we’re talking about this beautiful …
Here in Upstate New York our reputation for loving a good day at the apple farm pretty much precedes us and you can definitely count me among the masses who consider an annual trek to the orchard a requirement. Today I am seriously tickled (yes, I just said tickled) to share this really lovely apple …
I am so excited about sharing this gorgeous harvest feast today. With a simple, seasonal menu boasting the likes of homemade veggies galettes and salted caramel dipped pears, there is not a single thing not to love here. Dining al fresco at a picnic table draped in simple white linen and pretty flowers? Even better! …
I’m crazy about a good dinner party. Lately we’ve had about zero opportunity to even think about hosting a dinner party, because of our crazy busy summer (you know, that whole song and dance you’ve already heard before.) That said, we’re hoping to finally invite a bunch of friends over in a few weeks for …
You guys know by now that I love a good dinner party. Those gatherings of friends, good food and plenty of laughter that are really just about celebrating the every day. That’s what this gorgeous dinner party is all about. Shared by Veronica Lola, this rustic dinner party was a Friendsgiving celebration that Veronica and …
You guys should know by now that I’m big fan of the growing Friendsgiving trend. A couple of years ago I shared my own Friendsgiving dinner and last year it was this Friendsgiving spread that had us all feeling inspired to show our friends a little love. Well this year we’re keeping the tradition rolling with this …
I am so excited to share this beautiful Friendsgiving celebration today, sent over by the crazy talented Elisa and Edward of Elisa B Photography. (You might remember the awesome camping party they shared this summer!) This party is, in my estimation, absolute perfection. A perfect blending of friends, food, and frolicking in fields. Throw in …
Kate Martin of Beautiful Days (and the florist behind Whitney’s bridal shower) sent over this adorable Halloween party she planned for her family and friends. Sure, we’re running headlong into the holiday season right now, but I couldn’t resist one last Halloween post. I love Kate’s ideas for simple, easy to recreate Halloween decor and …
The endlessly creative Erin of Bird & Banner planned a fabulous birthdayween party for her daughter Elsa last year that I couldn’t resist sharing with you. They celebrated with pumpkin cupcakes, music, dancing and Halloween costumes. Favors were super balls wrapped like ghosts and guests were asked to sign chalkboard ghosts. I love this kind …
