Dinner Parties

As you know, I am obsessed with dinner parties.  And even though it's winter for most of us I am still craving an outdoor dinner party.  To be surrounded by fresh flowers and decadent treats sounds heavenly right now.  Very Marie Antoinette.

Anyone been to a good dinner party lately?
Ps... I love how flowers are nature's ruffles.  
And we all know how wonderful ruffles are.

I've never been to such a pretty dinner party, but I plan to host a few in NYC this summer. Hopefully. You'll have to come visit if I do. We just had a big brunch/lunch/early dinner at my boyfriend's family's home yesterday and now we're snowed in today. 25 inches. Fun, no?

My friends and I had a holiday dinner party a few weeks ago. Anna stuffed the turkey with bread cubes, lemon, and rosemary, it was so fragrant. Everyone else made holiday sides - mashed potatoes, cornbread, cranberry relish, and we had a white elephant gift exchange. It was the best dinner party!
