Perfect Winter Party

Check out this beautifully simple and perfectly planned winter birthday party via one of my favorite blogs for stylish party ideas: The Sweetest Occasion

This could be such a fun idea for a kids birthday party, for those of you who don’t live in perpetually sunny Southern California at least:)  Kind hard to scrounge up a backyard frozen pond in these parts:(

Alfresco Dining

Now that the weather is getting warmer, I am experiencing the seasonal onset of my intense desire to eat outdoors.  Food just seems to tastes better outdoors and meals seem to linger on and on, and those, my friends, are two very good things.  I am planning future alfresco dinner parties in my dreams while working away back down in reality.

Promises

I promise to resume blogging after the New Year, post on our trip to New York, & hopefully I will have my new banner (designed my very talented friend…more on that to come) up! Until 2010…CHEERS!

I leave you with some New Years Eve entertaining ideas:
1) Simple Sleek Decor

2) Standout Champagne Glasses:

Edge Flute: Available at www.crateandbarrell.com

3) A very well stocked (albeit makeshift) bar:

4) And a very cool way to remember it all for next year:

Entertaining Journal to record seating charts, recipes, notes, etc…to assist you in re-creating the party again or to just remember the good times that were had.  Available at www.graphicimage.com

Happy New Year!
