My entertaining plans this year have gone a little gaga - go figure - so I’ve decided to hunt for some witty, odd and outrageous entertaining décor. Having popped into the new Drake General Store (they've opened up on the swanky Rosedale strip on Yonge) I couldn’t help but fall into a playful holiday mood. Inspired by the crazy/cool objects in store I found all sorts of amazing bits and pieces perfect for my jam-packed social calendar. After all, it’s good to poke fun at the uptight and not to take anything too seriously, and with these eye-catching, jaw-dropping and fun-loving accessories I think I’ve managed to lighten up my hostess duties just a tad. Check out their Heffer Pitcher (good for eggnog too), the Unsealed Glass Bowl (who needs plastic?), and the Coffeee and Lipstick Stained Mugs (no need to do dishes!).
