Party on my mind

Just thinking festive thoughts, as my best friend's birthday is coming up. Thought I'd do a party round up of party things.

An entire magazine about parties with the tagline "the art of merry making?" Yes, please!

I love the idea of wrapping beautiful pipe cleaners around the base of wine glasses! How festive and pretty!

Sparkly monogram party for the guest of honor.

Cocktails for every month.

And because I would like to have a wine and cheese party sometime, how to create the perfect cheese plate.
