Fall Dinner

Last week I had a couple girls over for a fall dinner. You might remember (from here and here) that I love to cook, entertain and decorate. We ate roasted butternut squash salad with arugula and goat cheese, herb and lemon chicken, wild rice salad and apple crumble. I didn’t get any pictures of the food (too busy stuffing my face), but the table was too festive not to share.
I also decided to use our wedding china. If I don’t use it when we entertain I never will, right?

all pictures by me
China is Kelly Wearstler for Pickard
And PS today I am over at The Now Stylebook sharing my obsessions of the week!

A Girl’s Valentines Day Dinner


The table! How perfect does my painting look with this setting? They were made for each other. Love my PartyPoms

A little closer… ahhh the flowers aren’t centered. Its killing me.

White CB2 plates, black floral dessert plates from Anthropologie. And no that isnt a jail cell on the top left, its the staircase up to our roof.

 A little floral arrangement I put together. Didn’t like how you could see the stems through the vase so I wrapped it in some ribbon. Love the way it turned out. And yes, I filled champagne glasses with pink M&Ms.


And even though I kicked my special man friend out of the house for the night, he still brought me these gorgeous flowers. I really heart him. Ohh, and you get a little peak at my little cake stand that I originally saw in Rue
And last but not least, some of the ladies who made this night so amazing. I am obsessed with your faces. Except mine. Why did I not get the “smile-like-a-human” memo?? 
(Dear MJ, Are you happy you have now been featured?!)

Hope you enjoyed the peak! We had so much fun. I plan on doing this every single year from here on out. Such a great excuse for a dinner party.
