cake plate

Love my new cake plate from Pier One. The first thing that went inside it was not a cake but some delicious chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting.......yum!

individual sides

I love this idea from Sunset in the first photo of using a creamer as individual gravy boats. This one is only 1.95 from Crate and Barrel. It reminded me of the mini salt and pepper shakers above that I bought several years ago. They are so great to use at times like Thanksgiving or whenever you have guests over. Everyone always loves having their own salt and pepper shaker at their place setting. I'm sure they would enjoy having their own little gravy boat too!

outdoor spaces

How beautiful are these outdoor spaces! It puts you in the mood for summer with these great ideas for entertaining family and friends. My daughter who lives in Washington DC went to a lovely birthday party this last weekend. She described the setting to me and when I saw this last picture on the terrace it so reminded me of the party she attended. Modern, sleek and lovely!
