tonight we hosted our annual holiday soiree at chez moi for six of our favorite friends. beau cooked, i cleaned and decorated (note the silver and gold charger plates, napkins done in a tent fold, candles everywhere, ambient lighting, rosemary tree, fresh garland, and bowtie on louis – yes, i decorated my pug). this is truly one of my favorite events all year and i love hosting such dear souls for the holidays (especially when sue brings the MOST amazing cupcakes)!

may your holidays be filled with good cheer, yummy bubbly, cupcakes, holiday scented candles, a roaring fire, dear friends, fragrant rosemary trees, and fresh garland.
