The CB2 Secret...

There's a little secret that we want to share with y'all.  
CB2, Crate & Barrel's "little brother" company that caters to realistic-sized budgets for home furnishings and apartment-sized living, is actually an entertainer's dream.  Check out the website and you'll see a bevy of beauties just waiting for you to apply a critical and creative eye for your next shindig.  Check some of these things out below:
The hanging vases/votive holders are great.  Having people over for a spring/fall/summer dinner under the stars?  Or an outdoor shower?  Fill up your trees with the hanging votives for romantic sparkle.  Or, how about a grouping of the hanging vases over a cake table at a wedding, each one with a single bright posie in it?


These interesting odds and ends (above) are for tablescapes and filling vases and vessels.  The glass bubbles and glass beads are our favorite.  A grouping of the glass orbs/bubbles down the center of a table, with flowers interspersed, would be very luxe for a dinner party.  The two of us (Jill & Kari) have even discussed at length the kind of chandeliers we could fashion out of those clear glass orbs.  


CB2 also offers a variety of vases (and fillers---not shown here) for the home and your next party.  They are affordable, so doing fun groupings is possible.


Lastly, candlelight is essential to almost all party-throwing.  CB2 offers a range of candleholders (and candles) so you can light up your space in flattering candlelight.
