A tiny wine sipping, cheese and cracker eating evening,in the library end of my living room....
Such cute little plates with cute little sayings on them...
and they each have their matching coaster for your wine glass...
**
I have two wines for us tonight...
my all-time favorite, WILD VINES BLACKBERRY wine..
It is much milder than most wines...not nearly as much alcohol content...
but we still ALWAYS only have one glass...
**
I have one bottle, chilling in ice contained in a vintage crystal bowl...
I've not found a pretty wine bucket yet...but, it is on my MOST WANTED LIST....
**
CHOCOLATE goes so well with my BLACKBERRY wine...

*an important note...
blackberry wine is made from FRUIT....
chocolate has been proven to BE GOOD FOR YOU...
when you make your crackers SPICYand eat them with cheese,
all the BAD stuff just floats right out of them...
So, by my calculations,
THIS IS A MIGHTY HEALTY SNACK !!
and
the food diva, GOLLUM for FOODIE FRIDAY...

Sounds delicious. I've never seen crackers spiced up like that. You couldn't go wrong.
You really should be a magazine stylist!
Very nice. Do you sprinkle grated cheese on the crackers? Looks like more than pepper blends. If so, before and/or after the oven? Neat recipe. Nice settings. :) Jenn
You had me with wine....but those crackers sound delicious! Love your plates and coaster...I will be right over!

I poured a glass for us with dinner tonight. I like a sweet wine as well.
I accept the invitation! Everything looks just lovely, Thank you!
I'm on my way over right now my friend:>) It all look divine!
Lovely...could you pour me a little zinfadel please :0)
I'll wait here until I get my invitation. Looks like fun.
Love your new haircut! (Or at least I think it's new...) Love your hair either way.
Love the darling little plates and coasters, such cute sayings and so different. Your wine and cheese and chocolate sounds just perfect. Hugs, Marty
BJ... you say "wine"... and I say "what time?"... I there girl...
I'll take some of that chocolate and a few crackers too! yummy!
Oh, how much I want to be there!!!! I kind of like my wine dry so I may have to bring a bottle along :) Wonderful and very hospitable post on this cold winter evening!

Yummy, I will take a glass of red please!
This looks so pretty! I don't drink, but I'd sure love to chow down on those spicy crackers, cheese, and chocolate! Looks VERY tasty. Thanks for sharing and happy TT to you!
Color me ... enchanted! How lucky is Mr. Sweet?!
Love this music, BJ!

Why, Ms. BJ ...... I do declare! You have gone and created the nicest treat for us. Cheers!
Those crackers look amazing -- yes...I do believe I'll stay for a glass of wine - blackberry sounds most delicious! Cutest dishes too.
Such fun! Wish I could stop over for a nice glass of wine.

Chocolate and wine? Heaven. What a way to start the new year~ your tablescape looks fantastic.
I don't drink any alcohol,but I could OD on cheese, crackers, and chocolate...and your library is to die for!
NOW ...THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT BJ!!!!
Wine and crackers and cheese, and wine....did I say wine?
Crackers look grand...I'll take seconds please on the wine...I'll have to try both, that's still only one of each....

Thanks for inviting me to your wine and cheese party. Everything was lovely.
Happy New Year from Houston, Texas.
The crackers look great...so does the wine. Everything looks fun and cozy!

I was wondering where you have been, but I see you have been hitting the bottle again..:)
Y'all will have to have a glass of soda, or pop as you call it..Sierra Mist Free is my beverage of choice..and the chocolates of course..
Those dishes are so cute..
Now straighten up..tomorrow is a new day..you can do it..LOL
Seriously this is adorable!
HI BJ! Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such a sweet note about my fireplace transformation !! And, sure, feel free to upload the pic to your page - I'd be honored !! I LOVE your home ... love your bookshelves(!) and wonderful vignettes. Your "snack" looks so enticing and if it weren't 6:30 in the morning, I'd be pouring myself a glass of wine, too, and finding something spicy to eat along with it. I look forward to following your projects in 2010. Thanks again, Becca
Thanks for the last little tidbit of info! :) Now I know it will somehow work into my New Years Resolution! :)
Cute!!

I'm heading right over to your house. Blackberry wine sounds delicious. And, I'll have the cheese, chocolate and crackers, too.
You're the hostess with the mostest.
Looks good to me, a little sweet and a little salty:) Love the view of the table thru the back of that chair! Girl... you are GOOD! Have a blessed day!
Chocolates and yummy crackers and a beautiful setting! I'm in!... Dee Dee
Ooh that blackberry actually looks like a wine I would enjoy. And those crackers? YUMMY!
Those plates are so damn adorable. Just like you!
Justine :o )
Your "calculations" always give me a chuckle! Gorgeous pictures today!
The crackers and cheese look so good and the chocolate----------! You've got the right idea, Girl.
I wrote a comment on day before yesterday's blog, but for some reason it wouldn't post so guess it wasn't too important anyway. Was probably the day before you took off the restriction.
Love you!
Martha
uh oh ... sometimes i have two!
Hi BJ,
Mmmmm. Some wine and cheese would really hit the spot right about now. Wish I could serve some in the shop to my lovely customers but I live in Utah!

Your tablescape looks just lovely as well as all the goodies and the wine. Also love the dishes with matching coasters and how you have everything set up. Very, very nice! Pass the crackers please!
Hi BJ,
Isn't it amazing how good chocolate tastes with wine....yummy!
Thanks for having me over for the wine tasting. I really enjoyed it.
Wine AND chocolate AND yummy cracker snacks? Do you hear those screetching tires? I'm on my way!!!!
Hugs,
Dena
your library/ bookshelf is perfect! I love the birds with the hooks, and your large bird is cute too!!
BJ-You bad girl you!!!..sneaking out to see Elvis! I wish I could find something to play some old
45's on. My turntable doesn't have an attachment :( Your photos are lovely and the crackers look so good. Someone gave us homemade blackberry wine for Christmas. We haven't had the nerve to open it. If you ever get back to Graceland, let me know!!
Love this, BJ...what could be better than wine and chocolate...in the library! What a wonderfully creative tablescape...cute plates! :-)
Susan
The crackers are so original and delicious-looking--and those "diva" plates are adorable and fun. BJ, I love your bookcases!
BJ, I can't read all the recipe, please email to me or reprint it on your blog, if you don't mind.
Barbara
I just found your blog and love it! I would also like to see the recipe for the crackers; can't make all of it out in the book.
Gina
I love your pictures, BJ ... and especially love the bookshelves. We are overrun with books and I'd love some shelves like yours.
GINA...
Hope you see this...leave your email address and i'll sure send you a better copy for the crackers...
I love this, BJ! I also love crackers, cheese and chocolate with my wine!
I love the line of reasoning that you used for your snack :-). Those crackers sound delicious and your photos are, as always, beautiful. Have a fabulous Foodie Friday.
You really know how to party! Love it all!
Love this post.. wine and crackers sound delicious. I love the library end of your room, so cozy and welcoming...hugs ~lynne~
We're in the process of planning library shelving. Still many months away from completion, but I'm really looking forward to it. Your first photo is a great inspiration!!
:)
