FALL 2023
fall The leaves are changing right before our eyes and they’ll be on the ground underneath our toes before we know it. Let’s walk though a beautiful, cinnamon scented and crisp fall morning together. We’ll begin the day by sipping a Pumpkin Spice Latte and whipping up the most vibrant fall brunch that will dance upon your tongue. We’ll spend the rest of our fall day picking a favorite squash from the farmers market and turning it into something magical, put on your best red lip classic because we are throwing a party right out of 1989. Into the afternoon we have game time for s(n)ack time! Celebrate football season with dishes that pay homage to your team. The evening and full hunter’s moon in taurus strikes as the ghouls, goblins and skeletons all come out for a stunning dinner party. When the party is over we’ll stain hot water with the season’s best tea leaves, call a friend for advice, curl up with a spooky story or take a look at the accomplishments we’ve made this season so far.

Party like It’s On August 9th, the last day of the US leg of the Eras tour, our noses were pressed to the screens of our phones watching the live stream of the show. We knew what was coming when we woke up that morning and everything seemed to have a light blue hue to it. Time stood still when the blue outfits danced upon the stage and alas, the moment that probably broke the internet happened, On October 27th, we will get to listen to 1989 (Taylor’s Version) and I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate. On the next few pages you’ll see a guide to themed drinks, food, decoration and some interactive fun to really bring this album to life while it’s playing through our speakers.

You’re invited Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. We all fall down. Darling, I’m already dead. Your presence has been requested on the eve of the full moon for a dinner party. The dress code must be something of the undead, you are encouraged to bring haunts, spirits and boos.
We’ve been dying to have you.
