I had so much fun with my darling friends at my Golden Birthday Dinner party that it made me think we can definitely entertain at our Casa again soon! I think it is totally true that you must build on your success and every time that P and I have people over we get better at being gracious hosts.
Prime example, throwing a party in a nearly empty house means you and your guests must be creative! Since P and I have fallen into that trap of new home buyers, you know the one- Where you buy the house but now you have no money so you have no furniture or anything inside the house... The first time we had people over we had closed on the house but had yet to fill it with very much of anything. My dear Stats was attempting to make her world famous drink, the Flirtini (which has been forever renamed as the Devil's Brew, after the Epic Events of my bachelorette party) and we had no cocktail shaker. She being a resourceful woman, used the only container she could find in the kitchen, an empty potato salad container that she filled with vodka, champagne, pineapple juice and ice and proceeded to shake for all that she was worth.
Suffice it to say, after our wedding we now own a cocktail shaker, champagne flutes, pilsner glasses, crystal ice buckets, you get the picture. And we even learned to buy an extra bag of ice for the evening. So, we are getting better at hosting and will continue learning. How about for the fanciest occasians of all I get some fabulous gold ware from Hygge.
According to their website, owners "Christiana and Aimee often found themselves discussing ways to live more simply. Both believe in being more appreciative of small joys and living in the moment. As fate would have it, they stumbled upon the Danish word hygge just as they began to discuss a way to share this concept with others. They love the way that it simply yet profoundly captured what they were trying to achieve in their own lives."
I am just in love with so much on this website and excited to learn that "hygge manifests itself differently for each person, it is ultimately about living better." Sounds like a plan.
