entertaining on the road....

POLO = SUMMER ENTERTAINING

Bob and I were in Newport, RI- (Portsmouth, actually) a few weeks ago for POLO! I love Polo. We have some great memories with friends and family from past seasons - It's a great thing to do in the summer! It like to call it: "FANCY TAILGATING" !!! 

Entertaining "on the road" is always so much fun for me.
Packing everything is like making a travel tool-kit for the party.
I always say, entertaining doesn't need to be formal...

I like to use my "nice stuff" everyday!

And it's no different when I take the party on the road....

For Polo, I brought a yummy Busetto Supresata that we sell in store*four... Plus a few other goodies to balance out healthy yet fun snacking- and of course something to drink! The key to making the tail-gating stress-free for me was to bring things that didn't need a lot of prep work.... The Supresatta was easy because I brought with me a small cutting board and a mini baguette. Add a few strawberries and cheese and we had a party-to-go!

I brought plastic wine glasses that look nice but nothing I would worry about traveling with. They are clear and embossed with grapes- Really great for outdoor entertaining.

I tucked a few Le Jaquard Francais tea-towels in my basket and used them as a tablecloth and a liner for my basket to make things look festive!

We sat in our comfy tailgate chairs- Made little sandwiches with the supresatta and cheese... Sipped french sparkling rose and enjoyed the polo match!

The Polo schedule runs through September which is a great time to entertain at polo! (be sure to get your tickets on-line to get the best tailgating at the edge of the field!)
