Inspiration for Stylish Entertaining
A couple of weeks ago I was looking around my Pinterest feed and noticed I kept seeing 2 of the same things over and over: those cute painted wooden utensils, and chalkboard painted ‘everything’. It suddenly hit me – why not combine these two trends and make chalkboard painted wooden utensils! It’s a simple DIY… Read More
Last week I shared these cute Halloween puff pastry “ghosts” that I made as part of the Pepperidge Farm puff pastry recipe challenge. For that challenge I put my own spin on the original recipe they provided, which I’m sharing today. These Romano Puff Pastry Ribbons are easy to make but look impressive as they’re… Read More
Say goodbye to one big cheese ball {that’s so retro} and say hello to mini cheese truffles! It seems like it wouldn’t be a party without a cheese item on the menu, but people also seem to be intimidated by one large cheese ball sitting on the table – no one wants to be the… Read More
Last month I posted about my inspiration for a shabby chic baby shower, and today I’m sharing the result! Several months ago I was asked to do the styling for the winner of the Dream Baby Shower – a local contest run by Richmond Mom. As you may remember I styled the one from last… Read More

When you use convenience food items + a little creativity, it becomes much easier to focus on how it’s displayed or presented, and these cheesecake spoons illustrate the idea… Read More
What’s on your menu for Halloween parties? These Witch Fingers should be! These shortbread cookies that look just like fingers are my favorite things to make for Halloween. I made them one year for Ladies Night and one gal wouldn’t even eat them because they were so realistic and creepy looking. The trick is in… Read More
With football season in full swing I wanted to let you know about all the posts and recipes I’ve been sharing on Homes.com. I was thrilled to work with them on this Tailgate Fever project and MAY have gained a few extra pounds while making all these dishes {time to work it out}. You can… Read More
A while back I posted on our Facebook page that I had found this great “cuppie” cutter at World Market, and couldn’t wait to make my own cuppie cookies. I was first introduced to these cuties by Jimemmajack Cookies when I used them in this Easter shoot. These cookies look so adorable hanging on the… Read More
