A few pics from a winter dinner party last weekend ❤️

Cozy fall dinner at home last night with family visiting from Atlanta🍁🍂🧡

A recent cozy fall dinner at the cabin with friends. Forgot to bring up the tablecloth I was planning to use, so a vintage blanket became the perfect substitute ❤️

Touches of fall everywhere 🧡🍂

Late summer dinner on the deck last night ❤️

2 weeks ago we were in California celebrating our anniversary (well, actually there to see the vs game but we rationalized it by saying it was our 10th anniversary trip🤪). I am already up to my eyeballs in “back to school” stress and planning fall events, so looking at these pics makes me want to go back so badly!
Coronado California, you are beautiful. And hotel, even after all these years, you are still so gorgeous❤️

We had a spontaneous pop-in visit last night from my daughter and a few of her Cornell Frisbee teammates on their way back to Ithaca from spring break. So fun to have them here, and reason enough to throw together an early-Easter brunch this morning before they hit the road. I also assembled silly, last-minute Easter baskets for each of them which also helped decorate the table. Happy Easter everyone! 🐣🐇🌷

P.S. special thanks to my sister who just gave me the adorable seersucker napkins…they were the perfect touch for this table! ❤️

Happy National Place Card Day! (Yes, it’s a thing!) If you have followed me for awhile, you know I love using place cards, even just for family dinners. In honor of the occasion, here are a few pics of place cards I have used over the years…ranging from handmade and crafty, to beautifully illustrated with calligraphy. I love them all…enjoy! 💕
