I love entertaining outside…the pacific northwest just doesn’t give us many nights to do it, so when i get the chance, i’m ALL OVER it! I love to find simple ways to give an evening the perfect final touches…and to make the guests feel welcome!
Here are some of my favourite ideas:
MASON JARS: Love ’em! They can be used a myriad of ways….vases, drinking vessels or votives to name a few!

I love this self serve beverage station, featuring mason jars…
