A spot on the feed for our Silver & Gourd Décor 🩶🎃 A spot on the feed for our Silver & Gourd Décor 🩶🎃 We layered pumpkins and squash with some of our silver collection. Stack flat pumpkins on top of a champagne bucket to create a pumpkin topiary. Flip over silver bowls to serve as stands for more pumpkins. Julep cups are perfect for flowers and mini pumpkins. Squash spill out of a Reed & Barton oval Holiday tray.
Sharing some of our party tips! 🎉 Elaine hosted th Sharing some of our party tips! 🎉 Elaine hosted the neighborhood wine down in Friday, and here are some of the things she did to make things easy & elevated. Save these tips & follow for more. 

🥂Set up a drink station, so guests can help themselves. Add bow charms to the glasses to help guests keep track of theirs. 
🧡 Use wrapping paper as a table runner. One of our favorite tricks to decorate. We found the perfect orange paper at @homegoods to set the theme for our Halloween wine down. Looks great and cleanup is a breeze. 
🤎 Place extra trash bins near the drinks and food, so guests have a place to toss things. Put spare bags in the bottom, so you have a new bag handy when it’s time to take it out. 
🎃 Use mini pumpkins to keep napkins from blowing away. It was a windy day, so this helped keep things neat! Bonus points for also looking cute. 
🍂 Stock the bathroom with guest towels, so guests have a clean spot for drying hands.
The trick to bringing your brown sugar back to the The trick to bringing your brown sugar back to the perfect consistency 🍞🤎 Place a piece of bread in an airtight container with the brown sugar. We love these OXO ones from The Container Store. 

After 12-24 hours (depending on the amount of sugar that needs to soften), the sugar will have absorbed the moisture from the bread and be back to the right consistency. We like to keep a piece of bread in with the sugar and then replace as the bread goes stale. This is especially handy as we get into baking season!

Use your vintage finds wrong. We love finding new Use your vintage finds wrong. We love finding new ways to use our vintage pieces around the house. You have our permission to use it wrong! 

🍾 Use a champagne bucket for an elevated floral arrangement. 
💙 Footbaths have already found new uses as planters, but we use it as a beverage tub with ice for drinks. 
🥂 Put cooking utensils in a champagne bucket.
🀄️ An umbrella stand is perfect for holding mahjong mats. 
🔥 Transform a toothpick holder into a match striker.
