Y’all. I hardly know what to do with myself. This former city girl is beside herself with opportunity with this new backyard.

Our last home had a beautiful back porch where we ate dinner from time to time, but we have basically lived outside since we moved into our new hill country home.

Now don’t get me wrong. There is a time and place for paper plates and sippy cups, but every so often – especially as the start of school fills our days with carpool lines and homework – I think it’s important to enjoy a little elegance.

A dash of casual sophistication.

For this party, Mr. Pax and I created a fun little cocktail using Andre Brut Champagne. I promise the recipe soon, but for now, just enjoy how beautiful it all is.

And how – even without the dramatic views – a little dash of something special can turn an ordinary kitchen table into a stunningly elegant array.

Could you, like me, use a little dose of elegance in your late summer and early fall evenings?
