While white is not supposed to be appropriate
after Labor Day, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to create a final summer
tablescape using as much bright white as possible. With temperatures last week and the upcoming
week in the upper nineties (What?!) it’s hard to believe that it is actually September
and we are just weeks away from fall. So I am calling this table my summer “swan song.”
I was inspired by these sheet music flowers
that served as centerpieces on tables at the wedding of my very musical number two
son, and his equally musical wife, nearly four years ago.
Set for brunch, I used white ramekins as the
perfect holders for spicy bran muffins.
Chinese butterfly dishes, normally used for
holding hot mustard and sweet & sour sauces, served to hold pats of butter
on one side, and homemade jam on the other.
Mint and cucumber-infused water is especially
refreshing on a hot day.
Mismatched silverware is both elegant and
casual at the same time.
The edging on these napkins is interesting, I
think, making them one of my favorites.
This was my first set of napkins, given to me by my mother when I was
still in high school back in the seventies.
White makes things feel cool even on the
hottest of days.
