The many faces of Hobbes
When I survey my backyard, it’s like Lion Country Safari. Cats galore. My backyard is a cat’s Wally World. A fountain with fresh running water, and because Earnie loves birds, about 20 bird feeders. We’ve got your finch...
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.She taught me how to prepare fabulous food, entertain guests with style and design a traditional home with a pop of color and a splash of animal print. Share my fondness of blending Mother’s mid-century style with a modern spin.

This Limeade Tequila cocktail is my go-to summer sip. You can easily leave out the tequila, and all your guests can enjoy this refreshment and feel included in happy hour.
I used fresh mint 🍀 from my garden, which adds the perfect touch. Tag a friend who loves happy hour in the garden!

No more decoupaging bottles! I am so excited I discovered @beaubottlesco custom-designed wraps. They transform any champagne bottle into a stunning centerpiece. Waterproof, durable, and easy peasy to apply. In under a minute, you have a thoughtful, beautiful gift.
They also make mini labels. Can you just imagine hosting a dinner party, and everyone gets a tiny, personalized bottle at their place setting.

🦞🦞 Comment LINKS, and I`ll send you the shopping sources for my nautical themed tablescape. While a few things are new to me, most are vintage or from my party pantry.
Setting the table is one of my favorite things to do. But, I do try to make it "simply elegant" and do as much as I can the day before, so setting my table can be my single focus.
The shell topiaries are from Mr. Twist`s 60th birthday a few years ago. They`re Styrofoam balls with a variety of shells hot glued all over set on top of wicker planters. Then I scattered a few sizes of starfish on the table, with bowls of salt water taffy to nibble on after dinner.
The wicker pitcher is a Walmart find. I placed a mason jar filled with hydrangeas down inside it. And added a few pieces of blue saliva from my garden.
Let me know what your favorite thing is about the table. 👇👇
