I love to go out, for us a joy in life. A nesseccary must hahaha. I love go to friends, to a restaurant, to a wedding, you name it and I can say yes. The fact that we havent been able to be “out” in a very long time and dinners weren’t possible due to the covid rules all over the world. But i am obeying the rules and still safe so I can hold off for a while, and than the invite came. I was so exited to see the dinner party invite. I was invited to dinner by @jaynie.
The HIVE DINNNER PARTY
The dinner party is a blog topic @jaynie made for the 10 th edition of the weekly. An inspo blog for all hivers and especially #lifestyleloungers.
Read the blog here : @jaynie/the-weekly-no-10-lifestyle-lounge-blog-inspirations-for-the-week-ahead
What a joy to sit at a beautiful all white table and enjoy home cooked festive courses, all hand picked by our hostess for the other hivers that are invited. Its no secret the netherlands and south’s Africa meet in wine! Yes we are friends and we love a bit of wine so: wine is a must!
I am gonna write about the preparations needed for the dinner.
- Buying the lovely host a present
- Buying the other guests a little gift
- Pre select a fabulous fashionable outfit
- Bring wine
- Book the nanny
The gift for the hostess
well that has to be a funny and usefull present. And we know a whip is sometimes needed, online and in discord. We also had the boot, but the boot is special and with this apron well I say great combo!
But ofcourse I also want to buy a sweet small treasure to give.
A earth treasure bracelet, cause trees grow in any kind of season, any weather and whatever soil. And I love stone crystal beads.
Perfect for you jaynie.
But where are we ?
First lets check the venue, I think the table is on a boat, I see on the invite ( and the first picture of the blog ) a railing of a boat, so I think its a boat, a great luxurious ship where a red carpet leads the way. And I know Denise and I love cruising, @dswigle.
Buying the other guests a little gift
I am dutch and I will be meeting people from all over the world so I want to give them something typical dutch and for this occasion I will buy 10 packages of STROOPWAFELS
I never met anyone that didn’t love stroopwafels.
Pre select a fabulous fashionable outfit!
Yes, for a fashion addict a MUST and a JOY. I will go all out and go for a royal outfit, and who better to have as a fashion icon as inspiration than
our own Reina Maxima.
So, I will choose one of these three lovelies, on the morning of the dinner, because weather and a boat is a thing I need to keep in mind.
But I will also choose from the less royal dresses, but the Britt ones, I love floor sweepers so much.
The one I prefer is the orange , pink leopard, or the green one.
The dresses are from Hotlava a brand from my friend in Scheveningen, always wear dutch brands or designers.
Bring wine!
This is something I have to ask hubby, he is the wine specialist, I am just the consumer. I would bring a box of Barolo red wine, we love red the most and I know the hostess won’t be dissapointed, because thats the best with the meat and courses choosen.
WINE DESCRIPTION
The wine has a deep garnet red color with delicate orange tones.
It is distinguished by a certain aromatic range that tends towards maturity. It is jam-like, nutty, toasty and floral with good development. A harmonious combination of tannins and crunch, providing pleasant sensations of fullness and body. The wine has a deep garnet red color with delicate orange tones.

Aghain good accompaniment to dishes of red meat, game, roast meat and cheeses. Especially appreciated by fans of full-bodied and smooth wines! ( read @dswigle , @eugelys @joanstewart @jaynie and me ) we as the ladies of the group can salute the lady up in the starzzzzz, she loved a glass wine aswell.
Who ? Well meet :
WINEMAKER BENI DI BATASIOLO,
Owners of the Dogliani family, Beni di Batasiolo is a winery located in the Langhe region of Piemonte. In 1978 the Dogliani brothers bought the historic Kiola winery in La Morra, which was founded in 1950 and consists of 7 farms, with vineyards located in the most beautiful Barolo wine-growing areas. With the addition of this great winery and its own grounds, the total estate now consists of 9 farms and 264 hectares of vineyards, 150 of which are planted with the most important and celebrated locally grown grape, the Nebbiolo, for the making of Barolo!
Book the nanny
Well thats arranged aswell, with the lovely boys we have asking my parents who love to spoil the kids when mum is no problem.
