November Entertaining Essentials

Hi friends!  Welcome back from the weekend and also welcome to November!  November is one of my favorite months for a couple of reasons: a) I LOVE cooking and obviously Thanksgiving is like the superbowl of all cooking sessions for me, and b) I thoroughly enjoy having house guests + entertaining company, and we have this nice little tradition going of my mom & brother flying down every year and staying with us.

Whether you plan on having company come to stay this month, are just having a few friends over for dinner, or will be guests yourself {all of these items make excellent hostess gifts}, I've rounded up a few entertaining essentials that will make your guests feel comfortable and well taken care of from the moment they walk through your front door.



Shop These Items:

A festive fall wreath instantly dresses up your front door {available here} //  I love the antique looking brass finish on these candles {found here} //  I just ordered this Staub pumpkin cast-iron cocotte yesterday.  Perfect for Thanksgiving, and also for cooking cozy fall soups, stews, pot roasts, and braises {on MAJOR sale here} //  Cute little cocktail napkins {here} //  I LOVE French pressed coffee.  Serve it to your guests in this gorgeous copper press {20% off here} //  Beautiful brass & stainless steel serving set {here} //  This set of condiment bowls is perfect for any dinner party or for everyday use {under $30 here} //  Eye catching gold glassware adds a rich look to your tablescape {found here}

  1. I wish we could host Thanksgiving, but there will be a lot of driving in our thanksgiving weekend!! I seriously love this "superbowl of all cooking sessions" - I can't even wait to see how your table and all the food you prepare is going to look! Beautiful I'm sure!
