Guest Post - House of Earnest

Hi guys! I’m so happy to be here today on Girls of Lincoln Park to talk shop with you! My name is Erin from House of Earnest and I write about entertaining and home decor - all with a hand made touch. With the holidays sneaking on up, there is never a better time to stock up on cute and functional pieces for entertaining. I find that I’m always in need of things that are small are cute to add character and pieces that are large enough for serving a crowd without being commodity. Natural colors can be dressed up with other fun, seasonal items to make these pieces useful year-round. So eat, drink, and get shopping! When entertaining, I love registering big platters, lots of shine mixed with natural elements, and height variation to create dimension. ONE three tiered wooden stand $55 from Merchant no. 4; TWO senna 19” platter $40 (on sale) from Crate & Barrel; THREE nickel plated artisan cake stand $44 from Wayfair; FOUR mini creamer (would be so cute for gravy!) €6.50 from Room for Emptiness. Pretty metallic accents and quirky details make cocktail hour a moment to remember. Along with your signature drink, serve up some cocktail picks, darling decanters, and fun coasters. Top it all on a reusable fabric napkin (that you’ll love using all year!).   ONE striped cocktail napkins $18 from Society Social; TWO silver street coasters $30 for 4 by Kate Spade; THREE gold dipped totem pitcher $50 from Zara Home; FOUR cocktail picks $18 for 12 from Cocktail Kingdom. Thank you for joining me for my little dish on holiday entertaining! Stop by House of Earnest and say hi!
