sangria


I do love a nice glass of sangria in the summertime. I was intrigued that Martha had a 'Sangria bar' at her latest shindig, and thought it sounded like something worth trying. 

Food & Wine has a selection of yummy-sounding sangria recipes, as well as other drinks that can be served via pitcher right here.

simple, beautiful





These beauties, photographed by Wendell T. Webber, are very simple in composition- but show what a few props (and a good photographer) can do. I'm not even a huge fan of the wedding cake shown in the top photo- but I love the blue on blue image, with its pop of yellow, and the detail of the classic chair. 

The blue coral in a bed of sand contained in a glass bowl seems like a great tabletop idea- particularly when paired with blue glassware, as shown. 

And the last photo- taken from an unidentified periodical- shows an easy way to make champagne a little more special. In case you aren't able to read it- it says, "Moisten rims of glasses with water, then dip into coarse red decorating sugar. Gently pour in chilled Champagne, then add a splash of pomegranate juice."
