P is for Pumpkin Jar

I love apothecary jars and have lots in various shapes.  This one came from eBay and is being filled with chocolate and sweets for Halloween treats.

P is for Pie

Simple starter!  Thank you Sweet Paul.

T is for Thanksgiving

Not often, but I have thrown the odd Thanksgiving for my friends from the other side of the pond. And Martha's free ebook is a good place to start on the recipe front.

N is for Napkin Rings

It's always difficult to spot whose napkin belongs to whom...

...but silver (plate) rings from eBay work well to help you spot your napkin.  I like a collection of individual, mismatched ones that immediately look as if they're family heirlooms.

P is for Posy

I is for invitations

Canada's Style at Home has these invitations to download and print.

Much nicer than another email.

S is for a Start

Over the years, I've been very fortunate to attend some great parties and been on the receiving end of some fantastic hospitality. Now, with a home in which I can finally entertain more than two people, I have aspirations of starting a home entertainment business. Until finances allow however, I will have to content myself with this blog. 

Over the coming weeks, months (and hey...maybe even years...but let's not get beyond ourselves), I hope to be able to share crafts, ideas, recipes, purchases and tips that will help you entertain easily.
