As warmer weather has finally arrived (feels like California but with a bit too much rain!) and I begin to think about summer, there are a few things I want to add to my “party closet” for outdoor entertaining.

I need a casual beverage server.  I just ordered this one and it should arrive today just in time for a small get together! (Horchow is offering 30% almost everything on their site right now until 5/19!)

I love these placemats, napkins

and both of these napkin rings from Jonathan Adler.

The texture of the beading on these reminds me of the beach…you know I love that!  Here they are from Horchow, too.

Time to update a few basics as well.

These melamine dishes and bowls from Pottery Barn would be a great addition to the Andy Warhol set I picked up at Target a few years ago.

These from Target would be fun, too.

Love the pattern on these, too.

I’ll be adding few of these melamine stems and tumblers.  Wouldn’t sangria be great in the clear?!?!  Recipe coming soon!

Darling cocktail napkins from Furbish in my favorite color would be fun with Margaritas, of course!

If you have a charcoal grill, you NEED one of these to help you light it.  I’m terrible at lighting and am always a afraid I’ll catch my hair on fire.  This Bison Airlighter looks scary but it is fab and easy to use!

Now if I could only get rid of this rain…at least on the weekends!  What is on your list for outdoor entertaining?
