Join us for an author meet and greet with Lian Dolan
During the pandemic, our book club pivoted immediately to virtual meetings, so our club never missed a meeting. Happily supporting our efforts to continue our community, author Lian Dolan joined us to discuss her 2020 book The Sweeney Sisters. What a delight she is....
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.

🌹 🌹 I never pass up a crystal rose bowl. Elegant, timeless, and perfect for any flower, but especially roses.🌹🌹
The first bowls in this shape were made in the 1870s. Some of the most beautiful were made in England in the 1880s by Thomas Webb. There are two styles - a smooth edge like I have or a ruffle edged, popular in Victorian times, which were purely decorative.
I found both of these bowls @ltolestatesales. I almost walked away from the large one, but I`m so glad I didn`t leave it behind. I use it all the time.
Snall rose bowls are perfect a powder room, guest room, or lined up along the center of a dining table. You can use them for votive tea lights, too. A very versatile find, and they make a perfect wedding gift.
Lemon Bar Recipe 🍋🍋🍋 comment LEMON, and I`ll send you the recipe!
This is one of my go-to treats for wedding and baby showers, and really, anytime I want a tart and sweet bite of lemon curd. And they are so pretty on a cake plate.
This is my sister`s recipe, and I`ve been baking them since I was about ten years old. I`ve never tried any other recipe because hers are perfect!
Do you love lemon bars like I do?
Comment CHECKLIST for my free hosting guide. I`ll send it straight to your DM.
Many of these tips were things I watched my mother do when she hosted parties.
My favorite one is SELFCARE! Hosting is fun but it`s always a little draining. Refuel with a hot soak, a nap or just freshening your makeup.
Remember hosting is about intention, not perfection.
Comment BOOK, and I`ll send you the link to @reesewitherspoon Whiskey in a Teacup, her delightful Southern cookbook and memoir.
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!
P.S. if you love my necklace, let me know! It`s from @roxanneassoulin, and I`ll send you a link to the exact one. I wear it all the time.
