This yummy cookie recipe is an all-time favorite of Miss Party’s family for over 20 years now. Chocolate Krinkles just can’t be beat for how delicious and beautiful they are particularly during the winter months. Miss Party bakes these every holiday, but a wintery themed party would be the perfect time for this sweet treat. […]
Miss Party whipped up a batch of these seriously swanky, but easy to make, Martini candleholders for her ‘Jingle Mingle’ Christmas cocktail party –a retro, early 60s themed party. They were simply divine when lit and the perfect nod to the iconic cocktail. James Bond would surely have approved! Each candleholder is made up of: […]
Due to several requests from Miss Party’s guests, she’s throwing up the list of wine and cheese selections from the ‘Jingle Mingle’ party, 2012. A swanky good time was had by all! Wines: Mer Soleil Silver, Chardonnay Hess Shirtail Vineyards, Chardonnay Ghost Pines, Red Blend Meomi, Pinot Noir Ponzi, Pinot Gris Long Boat, Sauvignon Blanc […]
Plans are coming along for Miss Party’s swanky, little cocktail party. This year’s party theme, JINGLE MINGLE, circa 1962, calls for Miss Party’s restraint in over-decorating –chic rather than kitsch. This is an extremely difficult task because she firmly believes the holiday season is no time to begin practicing restraint. If it is what is […]
Miss Party will be using these sparkly, jingly wine glass charms for an upcoming ‘JINGLE MINGLE’ themed holiday party, but you can use the same idea for any Christmas themed party or New Year’s Eve party (‘ring’ in the new year with silver and gold bells!) where you will be serving a cocktail, wine or […]
Miss Party is crazy-in-love with the final results of the untraditional party invitations she created for her ‘JINGLE MINGLE’ holiday party! They’re a little bit artsy, a little bit vintage, a little bit holiday and a whole lot of cool. She incorporated authentic, vintage, unused party invitations into otherwise modern invitations. They hit a sweet […]
Miss Party is so excited! She can finally tell you about a few of the secretive goings-on in her little workshop! Mum’s been the word around here on the fab-o party theme until the invitations were on their way and in the hands of those dear, little postal workers with elfish features. Here are a […]
Miss Party thinks quite a bit like Mary Poppins, “A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.” Turn work into play and suddenly it isn’t quite so distasteful! Ask a handful of friends to join you for a fun evening of socializing and wrapping gifts, or a couple of families to make holiday crafts. […]
This delicious ‘make-ahead’ Breakfast or Brunch casserole has been a family favorite for over two decades! We can’t do a family Brunch without it! It’s versatile, too, in terms of the meat choice or you can easily omit the meat if preferred. If you need both options, it’s easy to prepare one of each –you’re […]
This is a continuation of a series of holiday game posts. See Miss Party’s other posts for more games and activities, “Holiday Party Games & Activities, Part 1″ and “Holiday Party Games & Activities, Part 2″. You may be needing games for a variety of events with varying ages and abilities, the more ideas the […]
The flavors of pineapple and coconut together are synonymous with the Hawaiian and Caribbean Islands. You taste them in all sorts of food and drink, morning, noon and night. They just work perfectly together! Here is a fantastic summer fruit quick bread recipe that is easy to put together and delicious as an addition to […]
Everyone will LOVE the apple-y smell of homemade Autumn Applesauce as it’s cooking and your family and guests will think you slaved all day just for them! Let them think what they will! Miss Party will never tell, but between us, homemade applesauce is really simple to make and this ‘no sugar added’ recipe is […]
This is a continuation for “Autumn Wreath Decorating Party, Part 1″. Pencil out an easy menu. If you decide not to do a meal, still offer beverages and something to snack on while ‘working’. Instead of a meal you might alternatively want to do coffee and pastry or a light dessert to have before or […]
Miss Party wants to share a ‘thaw, heat and eat’ hors d’oeuvre idea that’s probably in your neighborhood grocery store or ‘Whole Foods’ right now. Miss Party uses these fully-cooked, frozen pizzas to make delicious, quick hors d’oeuvres for casual entertaining. She serves them along with a bowl of high-quality dipping oil (to dip the […]
The brilliant Spanish architect and artist, Antoni Gaudi, is still an inspiration a century later to modern society to encourage us all to dream without limitations or parameters. He most certainly did. Use his modern mosaic and stained glass style as inspiration for a colorful party! Gaudi turned traditional architecture on it’s head, and took […]
These new Mini Fluted Zig Zag Pots are just adorable! The positive psychological effect anything yellow has on Miss Party at the end of a New England winter, makes her unfairly favor the Sunshine Yellow pots (the fluted edge even reminds her of the sun’s rays). Cabin Fever aside, of course, the white pot goes […]
