Paint it Black : Press Play and Party

I’m SO ready for summer!! I mean, we really didn’t have a winter this year but still. Don’t long, warm days sound fantastic? There is something about a warm, sunny day that makes me immediately turn on classic rock. I think I grew up in the wrong time period. Gah, the music and fashion?! LOVE! So as I was sitting on the computer the other day, as close to a window as I could without actually being outside so I could still see the computer screen, The Rolling Stones ‘Paint it Black’ came on. Boom. Such a good song (is that a sitar? One of my kids is probably going to have to learn how to play that). A little dark maybe but perfect for outdoor entertaining at dusk. All you need is a rustic wood table, some great vintage glassware, simple flowers and candles and pretty girls in hippie clothes. I think my summer entertaining is going to be all about ease and going with the flow. No stress. Last minute invites to keep myself from over thinking everything. Maybe trying out new cocktails or recipes but not getting worked up if they don’t work out. Anyone think I can pull that off? Maybe with a lot of rose…
