Talk Derby to Me

So this weekend Louisville, KY will be home to the world renowned Kentucky Derby.  Unfortunately, I will not be in attendance this year, but many of you may.  Even if you aren't attending, perhaps you are celebrating at a Derby party.  Either way, I wanted to share a few of my favorite accessories for the most exciting 2 minutes in sports.

1. A must have from Louisville Stoneware for your Derby Pie (although that phrase is copyrighted so the dish refers to it as a Kentucky pie).  Love it!

2. A tabletop for the whole horse racing season from Pomegranate Inc.  P.S. I scored this table cloth on sale at Von Maur a couple of weeks ago... get 'em while they're hot!

3. Finally, what would the big day be without a special mint julep.  If you can't get your collector's glass from Churchill, pick up one of these classic pewter julep cups from the Maker's Mark shop.  Be sure to fill it with it's namesake as well:)

That should get you started!  And don't forget, Derby isn't the only thing coming up this weekend... get ready to show some love for the mom's on Sunday!  More to come as I prepare for a special visit from my mom and mother-in-law this weekend!
