Spring Moodboard '23

The stormy weather in California these first few months of the year has me daydreaming of Spring big time. I’m really hoping it’s right around the corner! I can’t wait to get back outside on our little patio, even if I have to turn on the fire pit to keep the fog that creeps in this time of year at bay.

Puttering around the garden, growing some fresh herbs, and collecting sparkling wines are top of my to-do list right now. I’m thinking of hosting some al fresco dinners, or perhaps even a weekend brunch once it stops raining.

WHAT’S INSPIRING ME:

Food — fresh herbs & cheese on everything. This garden frittata has been on my to-cook list for some time and I’m hoping to try it out this month!

Drink — simple, spritzy, light, refreshing. Many of my friends are either drinking minimally or not at all right now, so I’m looking at fun pet nats or sparkling wines to keep it light, or trying out this gorgeous martini spritz (need alllll the edible flowers)

Design & Objects — the oversized, garden-inspired plates pictured above immediately caught my eye. Or maybe they’re meant to be chargers, but I’m honestly loving the idea of huge statement plates! I may need to brainstorm a tablescape around this…
For a casual outdoor gathering though, these are the prettiest paper plates I’ve seen in a while!
I also think I might need a few of these gorgeous wine glasses from this LA shop.
