Mamas & Margaritas

Invite a few of your girlfriends over for margaritas for Cinco de Mayo or for any day (you don't need a holiday for a reason to drink margaritas!) Our weather is still beautiful in Arizona, so I set up a simple bar of pomegranate margaritas & tequila by the fountain in our back yard.


I placed out a few luminarias & cut bougainvillea for a touch of color


& of course the star of the evening, delicious pomegranate margaritas


Simple, easy, & delicious! What are your plans for Cinco de Mayo?

Bandanna Party

I love using bandannas when I casually entertain. They add a pop of color & pattern & are fairly inexpensive. I use them as napkins, placemats, and lining platters and baskets. I found some other great ideas for bandannas that I can't wait to try out.
