The Art of Entertaining
Good morning and happy mid-week lovelies!
The return of fall means the return of many things to me. Fabulous fall fashion, apple picking, strolls through the green markets, cooking, wine tastings, hockey. But it also means the return of my desire to entertain. After a long summer of casual beach house gatherings, now is the time to step things up a notch.
Dinner parties are suddenly calling my name. Time to break out the china, pour some fine wine while cooking up a storm all while being dressed up to the nines. Sounds like a party! Care to join me? :)
Hope you all enjoy the day!
xoxo

a dinner party sounds fun right about now. and love the image of the rose bouquet - beautiful!
I would love to join you for a dinner party! I love having dinner parties in the fall and heading into the winter - gives me a good excuse to turn on the oven, which is always nice for a little extra heat in my old house!
Much love,
B
You would throw a fantastic dinner party! Goodness, I could only imagine the splendor.
I'll join you! And I love the idea of mis-matched china at dinner parties. So fun!

Gorgeous images! The coming of Autumn is particularly welcome this year after such a sweltering summer! Sorry I've been rather absent from my favorite blogs since the beginning of August, Dawn ... took time off the blog and have even been rather silent from twitter ... moving home and studio required all of my attention, but now things are looking much more organized!
The new Fall Season of the Ooh La Frou Frou Collection Blog is coming soon ... Season Premiere September 26! Hope your Autumn is glorious, sweets! xo

Of course! Dinner parties are the best...especially getting all the fun food and dinnerware together! I'm pretty sure dressing up is the best part, though (c:

Couldn't agree with you more!! I am also getting the itch to have people over. the cooking itch has already hit and I've been cooking up a storm :) Can't wait to go apple picking (seriously) and make a pie...
