Super Bowl Decorations

Written by Patti on January 27th, 2012

Good Morning Darlings!

I am Super Bowl obsessed. We are throwing a small party at the house and I can’t wait to have everyone there, hollering at the television and eating and drinking inordinate amounts of food and beer. And cocktails.

Time to start thinking about the decor. Hmmm…what to do?

Come on in for decorating ideas.

I Have A Secret

Written by Patti on January 23rd, 2012

Good Morning Darlings!

Secrets are the most fun. Well, when they are happy secrets. Like birthday surprises, raindrops on roses and brown paper packages tied up with string. Some of my favorite things!

My friends at Black Tie Barbecue keep the most fun secrets ever!

Wanna hear a secret?

Chinese New Year

Written by Patti on January 20th, 2012

Good Morning Darlings!

Conversation last night at our house:

Me: “Honey, we should invite Rick & Denise over on Monday for the Chinese New Year. We can drink the sake they brought us in the gorgeous sake set they gifted us with and I can make pad thai.”

Eric: Crickets – then laughter. “Honey, sake is Japanese and pad thai, is, well, Thai.”

Me: “Um…”

I really should get out more.

Thank goodness for my friend Sofia, in NYC. She knows how to celebrate Chinese New Year. She sent me wonderful recipes for the most fun cocktails for your Chinese New Year.

Thanks, Sofia!

Oysterfest!

Written by Patti on January 19th, 2012

Good Morning Darlings!

I just got this notice from my sweet friend Marsha and cannot wait to go! Usually I am very lazy about reading press releases (okay, about everything…)but this totally caught my eye.

Oysters. Beer. The Four Seasons, y’all. If you wear a collar and don’t show up in flip flops, I bet they will serve you.

I’m going. Eric does not share my love of oysters. Who’s going with me?

Marsha, I need the deets!

Super Bowl Fantasy

Written by Patti on January 18th, 2012

Good Morning Darlings!

This is my fantasy centerpiece for Super Bowl. With all the calories removed, of course.

I don't think I have enough guests to build this.....

What are you serving at your Super Bowl soiree?

xoxo, Patti

The White Party

Written by Patti on January 17th, 2012

Good Morning Darlings!

New Year, Fresh Ideas.

White always signifies freshly laundered sheets, fresh clean sheets of notebook paper. A new start.

What does the color white mean to you?
