The Vivo Tiffin and No waste lunches

So this is a flash back to my very first blog post... but I am in back to school mode here! The no waste lunch it such a great way to start off the fall and the new school year. Tiffin boxes are compartmentalized stacking lunch boxes that are great for the kids and adults! I love love these for picnics when we are in the wine country and on the run. Not only are they fun and easy to use they are good for the earth too. Saving all of those non recyclable little plastic baggies, paper bags and individual packaging. Space for your fruit, your salad and your sandwich if you please...

They are available in various colors, shapes and sizes- so check them out here! My Sparrow - stylish responsibility

Palecek eco friendly furnishings..

Palecek has been one of my favorite furniture manufactures for years. I have used their pieces in so many design projects that it is hard to count. With amazing craftsmanship and quality they bring us designs that stand the test of time. Palecek has been an Eco friendly manufacturer since the beginning (before it was cool)! I am proud to carry their woven and rattan pieces along with their great accessories! Here are a few of my favorite things!!

Entertaining your way.. tell me all about it!!

What kind of entertaining do you do?  I am looking for some fun ideas for entertaining this fall.  I love to host unique gatherings and create new traditions.  So I am wondering what do you do for fun?  

Last year we started a block wide pumpkin carving party for the kids and adults alike.  Here in California it is a little different from the beautiful fall parties I see in the magazines but we try and we have fun!  

Here are some of my ideas...  

1. Pumpkin Carving party

2. Harvest party (pre thanks giving dinner for friends who I don't see as much around the holidays)

3. Boat Parade holiday open house (we usually visit a friend who lives down by the beach and celebrate Christmas with some of my closest friends and watch the boat parade in Newport Beach)

So I am curious what you do beyond the traditional Thanks Giving dinner and Christmas eve and Christmas day activities (sorry for mentioning the C word in August!!)  Please post some fun ideas in the comments section that we can all try!
