EASTER TABLESCAPES

SPRING THEMED EASTER TABLESCAPE

JOANNANo comment

I’m pretty sure everyone is thinking the same thing….how in the world is Easter next weekend already!? Although Easter is technically earlier this year – I do feel like March just started! As much as I love working in events it really speeds up the year and makes time fly way too fast! In my head I am already working on August and September stuff. Just crazy!

Anyways, back to the present! Spring time is here and Easter is around the corner! These items have inspired me to put together this Spring Themed Easter Tablescape. I hope it gives you some ideas for your own setup next week or for another spring day!

IKEA POTATO SALAD

JOANNA2 comments

To tell you the truth, normally I am not a fan of potato salad! I just haven’t found one I loveeee……but that all recently changed!

Enter the IKEA POTATO SALAD! I know you are probably wondering – did IKEA start making potato salad? Is it served in the food court? Although I’m sure that would be Ah-Mazing….this is not the case. They do have the one product that will change your life forever tho – SÅS SENAP & DILL MUSTARD SAUCE. This is truly the most delicious mustard sauce ever! Seriously that good! Now this sauce is my secret perfect ingredient in making the best potato salad!

Now decor can add up super fast (HOW much for those cake stands?!) therefore I try to throw in some homemade options when possible to keep the cost down. One of my fav items to make for a party are tissue flowers!

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY 2018

JOANNANo comment

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!

With International Women’s Day being today I knew exactly the post I wanted to write! There are SO many amazing kick-ass women in the party/entertaining industry that I wanted to dedicate a post specifically to them. The women below are incredibly talented and beyond creative! They share their ideas as well as snippets of their lives which is always fun to follow. Most days I can’t wait until I have a moment to jump on Instagram to check out what they are preparing or what is going on with their days. Some of these women have literally shaped me in ways they will never know because it was them that encouraged me to finally take the plunge and just do it! Without the constant inspiration from their ideas over the years I would have given up on this creative dream and not given it another thought.

APPETIZERS

TORTILLA PINWHEELS

JOANNANo comment

These tortilla pinwheels are such an easy thing to whip up if you need a quick appetizer. I’ve created two recipes below which you can follow or change up with your own ideas! I love this appetizer because you can essentially customize it in multiple ways. Also this can be more than just an appetizer – makes a great lunch or snack in general!

I have to be honest with you – these guys do not photograph well! I haven’t encountered this often but I promise they are more delicious than they seem – especially the spinach smoked salmon (my fav!). Don’t judge a book by its cover!
