With more snow on the ground today and sweep-you-off-your-feet 40
mph wind gusts, a wintry table is seriously in order.
The new sleigh ride salad plates (more versatile
than you could ever imagine) pair nicely with the vintage Old Curiosity Shop
plates.
Black napkins join things together; the woven
round placemats give the table a natural feel.
Vintage crystal by Mikasa hold water and wine, or
any other fun combination you can dream up depending upon the meal. Champagne
and orange juice are a good brunch combination.
Toast racks are such fun on a table, but something
I seldom see used. Get creative, and use it for holding English muffins,
cracker bread, pita bread, waffles, slices of fruitcake or panettone, in
addition to triangles of toast.
My son, Andrew, gave me a set of “hottles” for Christmas. I
love them so much. When I was a little girl, my mother used to take me to lunch
at the Jade Room restaurant inside the Famous-Barr department store. We'd dress
up for the occasion and, while waiting for our meal to be served, I'd sit
wide-eyed watching models sashay around the room in beautiful clothes sold in
the store. Mother always ordered tea, and it was served in a hottle like this
one. I love little individual serving pieces like these, so am delighted to
have a set of my own. There are so many uses for them, tea and coffee, yes, but
also milk for cereal, flavored water, juice, Sangria...
My dad gave me the vintage-look flatware from
Pottery Barn for Christmas. I love it so much, I don't ever want to put it
away.
