Keeping in the spirit of the sun setting after 7pm I have dedicated this weeks “Links I Love” post to sharing some of my latest craves and what is inspiring me to roll up my sleeves and put my gardening gloves on to get ready for my first outdoor gathering!

Speaking of gardening – I am the type of gal who you really need to S.P.E.L.L. it out when it comes to what to plant, when to plant it and then how to take care of it.  I love this hand guide that lets you know when to start sowing your seeds!

You gotta love The Barefoot Contessa!  And, did you know that she actually has a series you can watch on the Food Network that is all about what to prepare for your outdoor gathering?

While we are preparing food menus for the evening, there is nothing I love more than to create “specialty drinks” for my guests, especially on a hot summers night.  Love the title of this book! And, once mine arrives I am sure I will enjoy

Nothing like some good old fashion lawn games to set the tone for  a good time.  I do have quite a competitive streak, so watch out!

No matter what kind of party you are having, you can never go wrong at Williams Sonoma.  This gorgeous French cutting board will see you through many a cheese plate and probably a few bottles of wine, too.
