A Wine & Cheese Gathering

I recently hosted a Wine & Cheese themed gathering for the ladies. I decorated with earthy colors and natural/rustic elements. There are lots more pictures on our Facebook page!

Paper cones were filled with snacks and inserted into a wine bottle holder.






Several quotes about wine were displayed.

Here's the recipe for one of the hors d'oeuvres I served(pictured above).

Honey Chicken Salad Tartlets
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
2 celery ribs, diced
1/2 cup craisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup honey
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 Packages frozen Filo Tartlet Shells
Combine all filling ingredients together and cover and chill for 2 or more hours. When ready to serve, fill each tartlet shell with filling.

Thank You!

Lisalyn, those twig thingies came from Michaels. They were on sale & actually had a string attached to hang them. I didn't have any idea what I would do with them at the time, but they were cool enough to keep in my party stash! ; D

Ok where should I start with the things I love list.... How 'bout everything! Especially the creative use of the wine bottle holder! Are those bottles for the water and lemonade from Ikea? I bought the same thing, can't wait to use them! Great Job!

I love the colors you used! This party is picture perfect! I love the vase with wine corks and grapes hanging out. My boyfriend has asked me to start collecting all the wine corks from the bottles we drink and there is starting to be enough to display! I had no idea what I'd ever use them for but this is a great solution!

Cant wait to see the rest of the pics on FB!
