holiday party :: decor

:: no. 1 a hand-lettered menu with small illustrations like this one Chris Silas Neal did for a food editorial ::

:: no. 2 some simple decorations like this felt dot garland from Benzie Felt Fanfare on Etsy ::

:: no. 3 personalized cocktail napkins like these from Paper Source ::

:: no. 4 birch paper straws for their rustic, vintage charm like these from Paper Source ::

:: no. 5 rustic yet modern hand-thrown mugs for hot cocoa like these from Julia Paul Pottery on Etsy ::

:: no. 6 serving platters with character like this wood chop block and this marble pedestal from Crate & Barrel ::

:: no. 7 a cozy blanket for guests to snuggle up with by the fire like the Favorite Throw from West Elm ::

:: no. 8 simple and organic dishware with clean lines like West Elm's Organic Shaped Dinnerware ::

don't forget some good holiday tunes ...
