This little story appeared in my inbox the other day and I thought it was too sweet not to share.
An early morning story for you inside, my morning glories…
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?

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!
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!
What are you waiting for? Come on in!
Like A Kid In A Swoozie Store!
Thursday, March 3rd, 2011Good Morning Darlings!
Last night I helped Swoozie’s celebrate their 10th birthday and it was so much fun. Their Chastain Square store is huge and filled with anything you could ever need for a party.
Swooning for Swoozie’s
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011Good Morning Darlings!
Today is a very special day for me! I am so excited to let you know that Swoozie’s has chosen me to be one of their party experts in conjunction with their 10th birthday. And to celebrate, there will a party tonight at their 4285 Roswell Rd, Chastain Square, location from 6-8pm.
Please come out and give me a hug (free!) and shop (20% off!) and clink glasses with me over a cocktail (or two). I have selected 10 of Swoozie’s fabulous items for a themed party, which will be revealed tomorrow night. Let’s talk entertaining, celebrations or how to make every day a party for you and your favorites.
It would mean the world to me to see you there. Swoozie’s party treats are most posh way to throw a bash. And yes, I knew that even before they put a party princess tiara on my head.
Join me? It is going to be Swoozierific!
xoxo, Patti

FFF-Oscar Worthy Cocktails
Friday, February 25th, 2011Good Morning Darlings!
My friend Kate in NYC has some great ideas for some award winning cocktails just in time for Oscar night this Sunday. How are you spending the evening? This is like the Super Bowl to me. I love everything about Oscar day – the preshow, the red carpet, the show. I’ll be watching, will you?
Will you be watching?
Take it away, Kate!
Time to make the cocktails! Come on in!
