I love celebrating and entertaining all holiday season! The last few years I have hosted just a small brunch with a couple of my closest and dearest friends. Brunch normally turns into afternoon, we can spend hours just chatting away. It is always a day that I look forward to! I am very lucky to have a group of amazing girlfriends that I can share my life with!
This year I did a simple place setting using pieces from my Emma Bridgewater collection. Toast And Marmalade is my favorite pattern, but I mix and match them all. The glassware pieces are also favorites and this year I treated myself to the extra-large hurricane. It is beautiful! Each place setting also has a little gift too!
Of course, champagne and mimosas are always the perfect way to start off any brunch! I served a quiche, one of my favorite brunch items. A simple salad with a champagne vinaigrette accompanied the quiche. My Spode ornament canisters held a cranberry dip and fruit. Those pieces are always a fun way to serve treats. Another special treat was champagne truffles from Fortnum & Mason. They were delicious.
The day was lovely celebrating another year of fun and friendship. I am already looking forward to our brunch next year!
Happy holidays!
