Grand Ideas for a Grand "Green" Gathering

Cool, crisp air is upon us, the smell of a fireplace burning, rustling leaves, and thoughts of the upcoming holidays swirl around in my head. I love this time of year and I love entertaining friends and family!

Add a touch of Autumn and bring the magic of nature to your next grand gathering with these amazing eco-friendly ideas.

This is a set of five cheese markers from WoodenHive has the name of each cheese hand hammered into a vintage silverplated teaspoon. It's up to you which cheese names you would like for your set.


Some examples of cheeses that can be made are Swiss, Gouda, Herb, Cheddar, Brie, Gruyere, Raclette, Fontina, Emmentaler, Camembert, Blue, Feta, Goat. If the word can fit, then I can stamp it! The possibilities are endless.

These would be a very nice gift for the cheese lover, cook or housewarming gift. Please visit http://www.woodenhive.etsy.com/ if you are interested in ordering these unique markers for your gathering.

Bring the magic of nature to your special occasion with these delightful felted acorn Place Cards from Fairyfolk. They look so very pretty on the table... elegant, natural and magical!

Your guests will delight in taking home their very own monogramed felted acorn place cards to remind them of your special day. So, not only are these enchanting acorns place settings but they can also be your party favors.

They are natural and eco-friendly treasures, made from real acorn caps collected  from the oak trees. The acorn is connected to the oak leaf place card by a delicate ribbon. Cards are blank so that you can hand write your guests name in a style of your choosing.

The acorns are life size and range in size from 1 to 1.5 inches. The place cards are made from strong card stock and have a delicate imprint of the leaf veins for added detail. They are 2 inches long and 1.7 inches wide.

Greet guests with this beautiful wreath from twoinspireyou! It looks like the harvest was allowed to ripen in it's natural environment for just a little longer to give it that weathered perfect look. I love the subtle tones in this wreath with the muted colors of the pumpkins, gourds, pinecones and leaves. This wreath is definitely oversized but yet, still fits a standard door.
