There are a few surefire ingredients that make for a good holiday party.
They include: cheerful guests, delicious food, fragrant evergreens, seasonal hot toddies & oranges studded with cloves, and many, many photo-ops.
All of the above was in abundance at the And North & James’s Daughter Flowers wreath workshop and brunch at Isa last weekend.
While Lisa was showing us how to work some magic with juniper branches, eucalyptus, and what may have been sea anemones though I am no expert, we tucked into sumptuous banana bread French toast with maple walnuts and worked on our own wreaths.
I love that if you give fifteen people the same ingredients, whether you’re cooking or making wreaths or bouquets, everyone will come up with something vastly different.
And that’s half the fun.
Thank you to Emma, Katie, Stephen, Nat, Lisa, Tim, and everyone for a wonderful day bonding over a shared love for the Hudson Valley and an enthusiasm for all things festive & pretty.
Sounds like a perfectly lovely evening! It’s wonderful that people can put their own stamp on something, whether it’s a craft, a recipe, or any other creative endeavour. Great way to get into the swing of the season.
Thank you, Teresa! I think it’s always so fun to see what other people come up with when they get creative.
I’m inspired, I too want to have a holiday party now đ
Seems like a great night!
Cheers
