A couple of weeks ago I was invited to a dinner by Ragan, of Beauty In The Bite, and Molly, of This Yuppie Life. Mix one part secret garden, with six courses of gorgeous eats and ten accomplished ladies… and you’ve got yourself the LOVELIEST of dinner parties… 

My new #WCW… Molly and Ragan…

The setting was so beautiful… and with quite a few of us meeting for the first time, this cozy seating situation offered a warm and immediately intimate vibe.

Love the use of wood serving bowls and platters…

… Ragan actually found these pieces at the downtown flower mart… genius!

Molly brought her friend’s wine, Judge Palmer, to the fete… and it was SINFULLY good!

My “I’m full of appetizers and yummy wine” happy face…

Sweet little succulents everywhere…

YUM!
