Apple picking is always on my agenda in the fall but inevtably I come home with far more than I can ever use.
This wreath required some rebuilding, loosening, of the a grapevine
wreath but I love the way the apples are nesteled in the vine. Thanks to
Michale Partenio for making this gorgeous shot
Apple cider is at its best now and with Thanksgiving approaching it is a perfect non alchohlic beverage cold or hot.
Ct
Homes and Gardens magazine asked me to create entertaining ideas for a
Fall Party. We had a picture perfect fall afternoon for shooting this
idea for serving cider. For a inside or out party this combination of
elements is easy to throw together.
Use a large bowl and
sit the bowl in the grapevine wreath, ( I think I used two) surround
with a variety of apples from the orchard. The gnarly ones on the ground
are great for show!
A
simple way to serve the cider that looks so appealing: just ad a slice
of apple. These great glass mugs are from Crate and Barrel
For some Apple cider recipes with a twist check out these great ideas from Coryanne Ettiene on her entertaining blog:

Through the wonders of Pinterest and blogland I stumbled upon your photo of the apple cider punch bowl tablescape. I love the cups and pitcher!! I've been hunting online for information with no luck. Do you happen to know any details about them? Are they enamelware or pottery? Manufacturer? I hope you see this comment and can point me in the right direction. Your styling is just beautiful and I realize I've seen your work many times over the years in favorite publications. Congrats! Regards, Barbara Livdahl
