Glass Countertops
In keeping with the eco-friendly trend, recycled glass countertops are available in amazingly beautiful colors, textures and designs. You can choose countertops embedded with cobalt blue, amber or bottle green accents that look like precious stones. These countertops are manufactured from materials such as dinnerware, bottles and window glass that are disposed of by homes and industries. These countertops are elegant, durable and non-toxic.

I was recently asked to be a guest blogger for the Chocolate Nation www.thechocolatenation.com and share some of my tips for Winter Weddings and holiday parties. Heres a preview of select tips I will feature each Friday during the month of December.

Tip number 1 – is one of those that should always be remembered for any event.

#1 Stay true to who you are…

#2 Winter weddings and events do not always have to be mean white. Feel free to add a fall color as part of your bridal party, flowers or just that pop, in shoes. Shades of blue can also add to that cool feel of winter.

#3 Treat your female guests to pashmina shawls – the men to scarves. This is the perfect gift while guests are waiting for photos or the ceremony/reception to start.

#4 Always dream of a wedding or party in a ski lodge? Rent fireplaces and arrange your cocktail hour (party) to feel like old friends hanging around the lodge after a day of skiing and playing in the snow. (Did you say cocoa and s’mores…we hear you!).

#5 As well as the bars, how about something unusual – a hot bar. Stocked with hot cider, cocoa, coffee and tea – and all the extra accompaniments to give it that extra warmth.

#6 After the cake or dessert, an unusual and sweet finishing touch..a mini chocolate fondue? Perhaps a s’mores station or cognac and chocolate pairings!
