Not So Spooky Halloween!

October 4
2 Comments

Not-S0-Spooky Halloween is a trend that fits any style!  All ages can enjoy the sweet whimsy and colors in all palettes representing the season.  Today I’d love to share some tabletop fun with plenty of holiday flair combined with elements of early fall.  You can mix and match just about anything for Halloween…no rules!  Grab what you may have on hand and just have fun.  This cheerful table is a blend of everyday dishes, thrifted finds, a little DIY, and goodies from the house & garden!  When planning festivities, never fret about perfection…this holiday is best displayed when it’s NOT perfect!  This also helps takes the stress out of entertaining and allows you to simply enjoy time with your family & friends.  My tips for easy entertaining?  Keep it small, try a potluck, and let what you already have guide the decor theme!   Let’s take a peek at some sweet inspiration for your holiday table…

A simple fiesta for Cinco de Mayo can be easy to pull off…even if it’s last-minute!  An effortless menu and festive details will make your May 5 celebration stress-free and so much fun!  Whether you’re having a party for guests or just entertaining your family, a fiesta can be such a fun tradition for welcoming spring!  Today I’d like to share some inspiration for decorations, and one of our favorite semi-homemade meals that we often enjoy throughout the year.  And when it comes to decor, you can blend together things you already own or add a couple new party supplies.  Either way, it isn’t hard to set a table that will capture the festivity of the holiday!  I’d love to share some of the elements I’ll be using this year…and where to grab some goodies to keep on hand for fiesta fun any time of the year!

Babybel bunnies will be the cutest addition to your holiday charcuterie or snack boards!  You may have seen larger cheese shaped bunnies made with rounds of brie on Easter platters.  I think they’re so darling but had to wonder if I could create a more 3-D version.  While shopping the cheese counter for inspiration, I decided to try a mini version…and I’m so happy I did!  These little bunny bites are such a whimsical (and delicious) way to add holiday charm to any cheese and cracker platter!  You don’t have to be a food artist to make them either!  So join me while I share the easiest and most fun-to-make charcuterie that’s perfect for any holiday snacking!

Holiday treats are always appreciated this time of year.  I love to serve up something fun, especially when it can be outdoors…even in winter!  You can make wonderful memories with family or friends by treating them to something unexpected.  Bundle up, grab some blankets and try serving some Christmas s’mores in your backyard!  It doesn’t have to be a grand setup either.  A few simple edibles, something to sip, and a fire for roasting is all you need!  Spread the joy and treat your peeps…
