HOST AN AUTUMN GATHERING

I simply love this time of year. Everywhere you look there are gorgeous colors. Plus, there a bit of chill in the air, just the perfect temperature to cozy up with a warm scarf and a bottle of wine.



One of the most memorable fall events I've been to, was an autumn outdoor gathering. Everyone brought their favorite bottle of wine, we had a stunning fruit and cheese plate and all sat outside around a fire relaxing and catching up. 
 Talk about simple! 



Send out an e-vite, then pick up a  bottle of wine, I find great wines at World Market. Ask your friends to bring some also. Then stop at the supermarket for cheeses, grapes and crackers. Toss all this on a plate and voila! If you don't have a space in the back yard for a fire pit, head to a local park. 

This time of year you can find easy decorations just outside your door. Gather a variety of leaves to scatter on the table, maybe add some small twigs. I promise, this will be the easiest party you've ever planned!
