Our Favorite Winter Reads

Elsie's Library | Winter Reading List

As a team we are a group with an extensive reading list. The Elsie Green gals love filling our extra time getting lost in the pages of a book we can't put down. On the packing table, or in the photo studio, we talk about books, movies and music all day. 

Our winter reading list is a selection of classics that continue to pique our interest time after time.

Here at Elsie Green, we’re suckers for a good glass of wine. But when coupled with beautiful scenery, delicious food, and good atmosphere, we’re in love. Scribe Winery in Sonoma is a favorite amongst the team here, and many of us have even joined their members club.

Le Dejeuner de Noel

Some of my well-traveled American friends and my European friends embrace a concept that I often forget about:  the Christmas lunch.  It's a simpler, more casual version of a dinner party, and often has a smaller guest list than a Christmas party.

On the runway to what is the ultimate entertaining holiday, we have a choice:  we can stress out or we can relax. I choose relax.

Nap Time | Napkins for Your Thanksgiving Table

An often-overlooked detail of the holiday table is your napkins. Textiles are the best way to soften up your table. We love to try out different ways to style our napkins, because we believe it's all in the details.

Cheers! | Champagne Coupes

Cheers! | Champagne Coupes

Thanksgiving is meant to be a time to sit back and relax with your loved ones, hopefully with a festive cocktail in hand. I don't think there is any better vessel for your negroni, Bailey's on ice, or good old fashioned champagne than a coupe.
