The Entertaining Itch

One of my 2012 resolutions is to host a happy little soiree at my home with very clean details and colorful accents. Erika posted yesterday about a brunch she recently hosted, and it made me want to order invitations and get this party started!



1  Mason Jars {12 for $24.99}  2  Grey Paper Stripe Straws  3  Rifle Paper Co. Botanical Coasters  4  Art Effect Anchor and Stag Votive Holders  5  Jayson Home + Garden Curved Servers  6  Fishs Eddy Cake Stand  7  West Elm Organic Shaped Metallic Rimmed Dinnerware  8  Pinecone Hill Pleated Linen Placemats  9  A bountiful bouquet. Emily had a great DIY tutorial here.

I know this spread looks a little spring-ish, but I love kicking off the year with a fresh and clean palette.
