Good Morning Darlings!
Yesterday we discussed things you shouldn’t be without.
Today, one thing I have to have.
Call it “One of Patti’s Favorite Things”
This.
I need this. Swoozie's are you listening?
I just think this is the greatest thing ever. No drippy ice buckets, just tidy Chardonnay bottles lining the table, all corked with assorted Corkcicles .
Friends and loved ones, are you reading?
xoxo, Patti
Today blogging to Tim Minchin – White Wine in the SunVIDEO

Good Morning Darlings!
There are so many things to do in our fair city. Especially during the holidays. You might take in the decorated windows at 200 Peachtree or stop in at The Ritz-Carlton’s lobby bar, Lumen for a swanky cocktail.
I’ll let you in on a fab new spot downtown…

Good Morning Darlings!
Only a few more days before our big party here. We are scrambling to get everything done so all we have to do on Saturday night is open the door and welcome our friends.
The house is just about decorated and ready to go. Just a few finishing touches.
How about you? Are you ready? Is the house decorated or do you need help?
Help is on the way!

Good Morning Darlings!
The state of Georgia has so much to love. We are the home to the Atlanta Falcons, the Atlanta Braves, Jimmy Carter and Scarlett O’Hara.
Who is our most famous Georgian?

I get a lot of cookbooks. I love cookbooks. It is time to review all those cookbooks recently sent to me.
Do you love cookbooks, too?

With all the turkey put away, let’s talk holiday baking. We can talk about Christmas now, right?

If you haven’t decided what to serve after Thanksgiving dinner, allow me to lend a hand.
What sounds good and what’s easy?

All kinds of emails show up in my inbox everyday. It’s sometimes hard to decipher what might be cool and what I might want to share with you.
Something worth sharing inside
