Good Morning Darlings!
It’s no secret that I love a party. I love them so much! The lists, the menus, the guest list, the beverages, the decor. Between you and me, I almost love the planning as much as the actual party.
We are heading into the busiest party season of the year. The lovely people at InStyle Magazine sent me a copy of their newest book, InStyle Parties and it’s a stunner. Packed full of great tips and ways to make your life easier when throwing your soiree. They even have a recipe for Black & White Cookies – my favorite of all the cookies.
I love all the ways this book helps you plan. Each party helps you plan with a Countdown so you won’t feel rushed on party day, Shortcuts so you don’t have to create every detail, The Pour with terrific cocktails and of course, wonderful menus with recipes and the most gorgeous and swoon worthy photographs.
InStyle Parties would make a perfect gift for a friend, or a treat just for you (you deserve it!). This tome is going on my coffee table so I can refer to it frequently as I plan my next get together.
In stores now!
xoxo, Patti

Good Morning Darlings!
No, I haven’t stopped using my spell check. The cricuts I’m talking about are not the creepy crawly kind, but those swanky little machines that allow you to blow everyone away with your creativity!
You have to see what they can do!

Good Morning Darlings!
Do you remember last year when I was just dying over Swoozie’s Corkcicles?
Oh my goodness, me, they come in a variety of colors now! LOVE THEM!
Colorful Corkcicles!
A fresh color from Monday – Friday! And at $24.95, they are still the coolest (get it?) hostess gift around.
Hint, Hint
I’m just sayin’!
xoxo, Patti

Good Morning Darlings!
Last Thursday Clint & I played hooky together. Clint planned an entire day of surprises that just delighted me to no end.
What did we do on our play day?

The lovely people at Ross Dress For Less recently sent me a $25 gift certificate and let me have at it.
And so I did.
What did I get?
