Great Gift for anyone!

I am always trying to improve my site or better yet-stay on top of things. I would hate to hear that a customer goes to my site and doesn't know where to begin, so I am going to often highlight items on my blog that will make a great gift or which color font will look the best. I have picked out cocktail napkins below that will look perfect with the cocktail napkin holder below. Check all of this out at To Bee Named.

Red Font for the classic toile!

Many colors look great on this napkin. I recommend the block font in the corner for this one. Red, Turquoise, Kelly Green, Carolina Blue and Hot Pink!

For this cocktail napkin holder, I would use black for the green bamboo napkin.

Black or Gold would make a nice addition to this napkin.

This cocktail napkin holder works with most decors!

Cocktail Party

Here is a picture of my living room with my new coffee table and the french doors leading out to the deck.

This is my screened in porch with the beverage table and of course, napkins from To Bee Named. On some of the napkins, I printed our last name on the other napkins I printed our house number down in the corner. ( i didn't realize my table cover was wrinkled-oops)

Here is the dining room where the food was served.

Here our the snow pea wrapped shrimps and the great fruit tray my friend, Sarah dropped by.

The cocktail party went well. The weather was perfect and everyone was able to enjoy the outdoors. We have a screened in porch off of our living room that connects to our deck, we open the french doors and it works well. I had two items catered-shrimp wrapped in snow peas in a secret sauce and sweet potato biscuits with ham and chutney. I don't eat meat, so I didn't try either one, but it got rave reviews. Several other couples in the cocktail club each brought a dish and they brought some good ones. Thanks to all. Here are some pics of my house-before everyone arrived.

Martha Update!

Ok-I just found out if my napkins are chosen it will be for the Winter 2009 issue, so we may have a while to wait. I will keep you posted.

We have been traveling lots, so I am behind on blogging, napkins and everything else at my house. We are hosting a cocktail party here in 2 weeks-thanks to happy housewife for printing those for me. Now, I just have to get my menu, call the caterer and bartender and make sure my cleaning lady is close by. I have learned and thank goodness hubby as also, that it makes the party so much easier with a little help from all of the above.

We attended a funeral for hubby's cousin this week. Tony Milin was 27 years old graduated from Duke and had just received his medical degree from Washington University in St. Louis. He died of brain cancer. So sad and he was a son that you would wish for your own. Tony was handsome, smart, caring, loved his family, talented (played many instruments), fluent in many languages, and I could go on forever. He will be greatly missed, but not forgotten.

I still need to share my experience of my first Atlanta gift mart. I think it has taken me a while to get over it. (flight cancelled and I had to rent and drive a car in the pouring rain for 8 hours). I am still a little bitter over the whole thing. I did eat at some great restaurants-that I will mention later.

Martha Stewart Calls

(picture from www.marthastewart.com)

No, not Martha but an assistant from her office called me today. I was working at home and usually don't answer the phone, but I recognized the 212 area code as a NYC area code, so I picked up. She was calling from Martha Stewart Weddings and found my website. She is interested in one of the napkins that I carry on my site. She wants to use the napkin for a color palette story in an upcoming issue!! So wish me luck and if I am featured in the magazine they will send me an issue. What a way to spice up my day!

Boy or Girl!

I am helping a friend who is hosting a baby shower for a couple that is having twins. A boy and a girl. I thought of these two napkins that are pink and green and blue and green. They already have the names picked out, so it will say baby molly on the pink and green and baby harrison on the blue and green in all lowercase. How precious!
These napkins are also great for birthdays
Claire is 2!

For showers that you don't know the sex of the baby you can write
boy or girl?

Invitation in the Mail

I received this invite today for an engagement party of my close friend's brother. What a great couple and we hope to attend. I love the invite that my friend picked out. The invite is actually chocolate brown and green and is from our friends at Paperbuzz.
What a great selection they have for invites and gifts!
I am personalizing cocktail napkins for the event with their names and a special saying on them.
Here is the cocktail napkin that will be used with a chocolate brown font. Will make for a great display.
You can really get creative with the sayings you can put on napkins for couples.

I have personalized napkins that say...Molly loves Charles and Charles loves Molly, Happily Ever After, First comes love, then comes marriage.

There are so many special sayings that can be personalized for your next party. Whatever your creative mind can think of!
