Last Thursday we celebrated Australia Day and boy was it fun! This year The Big A and I invited everyone over to celebrate at our place and we had so much fun I had to stop and take a mental picture to remember just how good it was (PS Does anyone else do mental snapshots or is that just me being a dag?!?) The rain stopped just as the BBQ started, the peach bellini's were free flowing and as evening fell we ended up on the street with more drinks and a marathon game of cricket. Even passers by joined in on the fun. For me, the success of this BBQ came by including lots of detail to give the day a special feel, we had a great combination of guests and we kept the party momentum up by introducing activities. What do you do to make your parties a success?

Mason Jars - What I Love and Where I Got A Great Deal
Lately I've been ooogling over mason jars. Why? We are hosting a little bbq for Australia Day and these are going to be the perfect alternative to normal glassware. Served with a cute striped straw these little puppies are going to add a fun home spun feel to our bash. I picked up a great deal here for a dozen of them and better yet the purchase helps support Aussie farmers. So, what do you reckon - Are you a fan of mason jars?

A Serving Idea for Your Next Party Thanks to Donna Hay
Oki Dokies my lovely readers. The weekend is coming up and the weather in Sydney is looking fine. Perhaps it's party time at your house? Well I have a new idea for you to try. After some serious oogling over the Donna Hay 10 Year Anniversary Magazine (she is a goddess if you don't know her already) what struck me in their dinner party feature was the clever use of glassware as serving ware. Its unexpected but adds an oh-so-glam touch to your dinner party. Let's explore.....
1. Glass Bowls as servers for a meringue dessert bar
2. White condiments are perfectly complimented by glass hues
3. Oversized glass bowls in clean lines make modern punch bowls
