It's been quiet on the blog… which is always an accurate indication that things are super busy behind-the-scenes. One of the fun projects I've been working on is helping to launch the new +Martha Stewart party product line for JCPenney - MarthaCelebrations. I was chosen (along with a group of other party enthusiasts and bloggers) to style a party using a "Celebration in a Box" shipped to me. I had no idea what I would receive and was thrilled when the box arrived containing fun party items from this collection: MarthaCelebrations - Sweetgrass Collection My mind quickly took off and I'm thrilled to share with you today what I came up with... "Rooted Deeply In Love" Themed Bridal Shower It's a beautiful theme fit for a Bridal Shower, Baby Shower or even a Family Reunion or Anniversary Celebration. Green Apple Licorice Twists Interactive Parfait Potting Station Guests get to create their own customized parfaits using the directions & supplies provided. Here's what a finished parfait looks like - including darling customized wooden spoons that double as "plant markers" Top Soil (Crushed Oreos) Seedlings (Fresh Mint) to top off the parfaits. Rosemary Sea Salt Party Favor "All the MarthaCelebrations at jcpenney products featured in this post were provided by the Editors at Martha Stewart Living, a team that loves a good party and deeply admires the bloggers who throw them." I hope you love how it turned out everyone! I had a blast coming up with the concept/theme and loved using the new MarthaCelebrations products to pull it off.

KEEPiNG iT REAL Sending out a HUGE Thank You to my sweet family! This would not have come together without their help. Ema was my biggest helper - keeping Ella busy, helping me move furniture, making the pudding and other various food prep, crafting with me and "rooting" me along the entire time. I love her!! J bit his tongue and aside from some push-back on helping me move some large pieces of furniture, he didn't gripe too much about the chaos. *wink*

From the moment the charcuterie fad started, I have been one who gets lost scrolling through photo after photo of graze boards. They're ALL gorgeous, and they're all so, so different. I've always loved food, and i've always loved art. I have an English degree because I look at writing as an art with words. I play music because I love to create. I look at charcuterie in the same way. It is art with food, and graze tables..they're like charcuterie boards on steroids.
