Hostess with the mostess
Friday, December 24th, 2010To all of you who are hosting parties and family get-togethers this holiday, I am sending you all my best wishes and encouragement for a happy and stress-free time. They say that the key to being a great hostess is some serious organisation…. Although perhaps I would add that it’s important not to take things too seriously!
I saw this photo from Lonny in my files – look at all that china and serviceware all stacked up, organised and ready to party… beautiful, isn’t it? Let’s see if it inspires us all to let our inner Martha shine.

Festive dining
Friday, December 24th, 2010Isn’t this dinner service completely divine? What better way to serve your guests in style this holiday? It’s the Bernardaud Etoiles collection from Williams Sonoma… I love it.

Care for a cocktail?
Tuesday, December 7th, 2010The holiday season is upon us & with it comes the proliferation of drinks parties.
Never one to need much of an excuse for a good cocktail, I love to see people’s homes with a nicely set up bar tray or table in the social rooms of a home. The old school glamour of a good cocktail shaker, some smart glasses, fresh ice in an ice bucket and a good selection of drinks is a cheerful and comforting sight!
Bunny Williams provides inspiration for being a winning hostess with the perfect bar set up, as she describes in her book Scrapbook for Living.
Cheers!
