Good Morning Darlings!
I was out partying ALL day yesterday. Such fun but all that fun has me depleted. So I am going to grace the pages today with some fun photos of things making me smile on this fine, spring day.
Enjoy!

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011Cooking With Cheffrey

I have decided to add another dimension to the blog and do some cooking videos. It was my extreme pleasure to welcome Chef Jeffrey Gardner from South City Kitchen to our home Sunday for some kitchen fun.
FFF-Hello Sweetie
Friday, March 18th, 2011Good Morning Darlings!
With the weather finally feeling like Spring (3 more days!) and the evenings a bit warmer, all I can think about is Easter. Easter grass is all planted in containers and ready to sprout, John is off to Garden Ridge to find delights for our Easter Sunday table and I’m thinking take away gifts. And what screams Easter more than candy? I’m thinking of putting together a candy buffet with a boodle of colorful baskets lined with Easter grass so my guests can make their own selections. No matter how old you get, you can always appreciate a pretty Easter basket, yes?

Spring in My Step
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011Good Morning Darlings!
I am so excited for spring to be here. Easter, in particular, when Eric, John and I will be hosting dinner at our house.
To get ready, I have taken large square votive holders, filled them with potting soil and grass seeds and now I wait. The grass-filled votive holders will line our dinner table, enveloping the table in fresh, green grass. But for now, I am tending to my little charges.
Guest Post – Is The Dinner Party Dead?
Monday, March 14th, 2011Good Morning Darlings!
I have a very special treat for you today!! Our guest blogger is none other than the simply charming Mary Kay Andrews, the author of the New York Times bestselling SAVANNAH BREEZE and BLUE CHRISTMAS, (HarperCollins) as well as HISSY FIT, LITTLE BITTY LIES and SAVANNAH BLUES. She and I were discussing the state of the dinner party on Facebook after someone had posted an article saying the art was dead. She and I disagree with the article and I asked if she would like to write a little something for my blog. Mary Kay was so very kind to write this post and I am thrilled to welcome her to Anatomy of a Dinner Party. Please put your hands together for Miss Mary Kay!
FFF-Big Gay Supper Club
Friday, March 11th, 2011Good Morning Darlings!
Oh how I love to meet new folks. And the other night at The Big Gay Supper Club, I did just that.
Invited by creator, Rande Head, and held at Rosebud, a restaurant I’ve been dying to try, it was a fun night out.
Lots of fun photos inside.
Best of Atlanta
Thursday, March 10th, 2011Good Morning Darlings!
Best of Atlanta is an annual event held by Atlanta Magazine to fete the best of the best. I was invited by my sweet friend Stuart from The Foundry, the swanky design showroom that has produced two of the coolest parties I have attended in recent memory.
In fact, Stuart and I are in talks to produce an Anatomy of a Dinner Party dinner at their showroom. I am thrilled to be partnering with one of the most sought after companies in the city. And, I don’t have total confirmation, but one designer friend of mine is in talks to design each table. Stayed tuned and let me know how you feel about this venture. There are others in the works, too!
Join the party? It’s the Best!
Chioke Meets Jimmy Fallon
Wednesday, March 9th, 2011Good Morning Darlings!
If you have been reading the blog for a while, you probably feel like you know my friends really well. One of my very favorites, Chioke, moved to NYC last year. And while I miss him like crazy, I was thrilled when he agreed to become my big city correspondent and attend a very special event.
It is so exciting to know that Chioke is in New York and willing to act as our bureau chief so we can bring you lots more exciting news.
And now I will hand it over to our NYC Bureau Chief for AOADP, Chioke. Thanks, Honey!
