Secrets in the Sauce



I absolutely LOVE themed dinner parties and events. I only wish that I had a place of my own to host dinner parties and events. I really like these plates that I saw in Country Living. They were advertised for Target at 1.99 a plate, however I have not been able to find them online or in stores :(.  Even though I don't have a place of my own YET I have been trying to stock up on household items and decor (especially decor) so that when I do have a place of my own I'll already have everything I need. Although I haven't focused on any holiday decorations yet, I think that this year I am going to hit all the after Halloween sales and start collecting my Halloween decorations.
    My boyfriend, Brennon, asked me today if I was going to be one of those people that goes all out for holidays with crazy decorations. He said it in a negative tone like it was a bad thing. Um....he must not know me very well. Sometimes I can go a bit overboard on things, but my feeling is- if you're going to do something, do it right.

Apparenlty gourds are all the rage for decorating this season. I think it's an interesting idea, but also can be a waste if you just throw them all away at the end of the season, or if they go bad before Thanksgiving. I'm not quite sure yet how I feel about it. I like the look of it, I just wouldn't want to have to throw them all away and I think it could get rather expensive.

I do like the look of the multi-tiered display and it is very unique.

Okay... I do love the mini pumpkins on the candle-stick holders. I think it is adorable, simple, and very affordable. There also was another table center piece with the mini pumpkins on saucers and candle sticks adding more dimension.



Better Homes and Gardens had a pumkin decorating contest and I just loved these pumpkins, they are so original. I love it when people put a creative spin on a tradition idea to make it their own.





Too cute!
