NIBBLES & BITS SOIREE

I've had some issues with Blogger today...UGH! Finally, I'm able to post these photos from my "Nibbles & Bits Soiree" on Tuesday evening.

First, "HERE'S WHAT I WORE" How cute is the candy corn apron? I love it and felt very Sandra Lee-ish while wearing it...'cuz it coordinated with my tablescape! I was stylin' my orange pumpkin earrings and my orange 'Revas' by Tory Burch.

"HERE'S WHAT MISS COCO WORE" She wore a darling candy corn-motif dress--she wanted to match her mama! Isn't she just too much y'all! {Husband said "she looks old in this photo!" She's only 5...}

I set up the kitchen table and sideboard with some candy, a few veges, dips & cheese, and Halloweened it all up with party printables I found on Etsy. Take a look...

The pumpkin chandelier shades gave the room a 'spooky glow'...

"Nibbles & Bits" on the sideboard...

The runner is made with burlap which is all the rage now. I love the look of burlap on a tabletop! A little orange ric-rac border on the ends makes it very Halloween-ish!

Dips, veges, and crackers...
The Creamy Garlic Herb Dip is a Taste of Gourmet product I sell. It makes a great cheese ball or dip. I combined the mix with 8 oz. of cream cheese and 8 oz. of mayo to make a cold dip...easy y'all! There are 2 mixes in the box and the cost is $7.95/box. You can order here.

The Simply Spinach Dip is also a Taste of Gourmet product I sell which makes a great cheese ball and either a hot or a cold dip. I combined this mix with 8 oz. sour cream and 8 oz. of mayo to make a cold dip, again, tres easy! There are 2 mixes in this box as well and the cost is $7.95/box. You can order here.

The Bremner Wafers, another Taste of Gourmet I sell, are popular crackers in The Crown Restaurant in Indianola, Mississippi, where the owners of Taste of Gourmet serve ALL the products I sell. The crackers are $3.95 a box and you can order them here."

I love the dips and the crackers are wonderful...y'all need to get some!

Chocolate covered apples, dipped in nuts...
The bits...

More bits...

Caramel corn...which I'm still eating today!!!

The kitchen table was covered with a frayed-end burlap square cloth. I used my birdcage to hold the grapes and cheese...

Spooky-faced cupcakes...

Plastic flatware, wrapped in paper napkins, and secured with cute labels...Yes y'all, I use plastic tableware and paper napkins!!!

"Nibbles & Bits" plates...
My "Signature Beverage" was a Halloween Punch. I wanted to keep it simple and this recipe is just that...Mix orange juice, unsweet pineapple juice, and ginger ale together and voila...a refreshing drink. {You can sneek in some vodka to make it a little more party-friendly if you must!}

Get your party favors y'all!
Party favors are a must... I placed Halloween treats in cello bags and added cute printedlabels with Halloween wording to the top...

Thank you for visiting with me today. I will be back on Sunday with a few Halloween night photos...we're expecting hundreds of trick-or-treaters here at "The Roost." Husband and I will be dispensing treats on the front porch to the children and serving chardonnay in sippy cups for the guardians!!!
