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 hope wherever you are tonight, you get caught up in the magic of Christmas. Thank you for being part of my world.
You know those pins your mother gave you - WEAR THEM! I took one of my mother`s vintage starburst pins and created a cinched waist with my velvet jacket. It definitely elevates your look!
You can add pins to your handbag, a jean jacket, a scarf around your wrist, and like my friend Jen @stylewithnoregret, she decorated a tinsel tree with vintage brooches.
You will definitely make a statement at the party!
Comment CAKE and I`ll send you my recipe for Cranberry Christmas Cake, or visit my website www.homewithatwist.com.
I like to pour the batter into small 8x8 pans for easy gifting. Add a dusting of powdered sugar, a ribbon, and a tag, and you`ll deliver the perfect Christmas morning treat.

I loved getting creative on this hostess gift project. It started with a package of festive @casparistyle napkins and a bottle of pink bubbly.
I added green and pink ribbon and some tags available in my digital store. I know my neighbors with love this gift to help celebrate the holiday.
