A Table Tout Le Monde: The Provençal Life

It's finally that point in the year that we look forward to for months and months. It's that special period of time in the spring season when dining Al Fresco becomes a regular event for us. There's a narrow window of time in Savannah, just before the summer, when the weather is truly idyllic. The sun is warm, but a gentle breeze keeps you from overheating. Soon Summer will be here and unless you enjoy a side of sweat with your main course, eating outside in the intense southern heat is out of the question. Lately, we've been really hungering to lead more of the Provençal lifestyle. Home cooked meals with ingredients fresh from the market and a table full of friends, family and good wine is what we love most. And today we're ready for it! Incorporating our favorite olive wood utensils and seagrass vessels and pitchers into our latest tablescape, we're excited to take this feast outdoors! Bon Appetit!

On the Table: Campsite Breakfast

With all of the beautiful weather we've been having lately, it's hard for us not to want to take all of our meals outside. Dining al fresco is easily our favorite way to enjoy a delicious meal, which is one reason why we love camping so much. Seeing as we can't head to the mountains for an outdoor excursion at the moment, we figured we would just bring the campsite to us and set our table for a good ol' morning-in-the-mountains, hearty breakfast. Bringing together, our enamelware mugs, olive wood bowls and ceramic egg cups, we've set the table for a perfect outdoor feast. Now bring on the coffee!

On the Table : First Signs of Spring

Today is the last day of February and hopefully the end of what seems to be an eternity of cold days and cold nights. Maybe it's just our spring fever acting up but we are anxious as ever to open our windows and let the fresh spring air in. We never like to feel cooped up inside for too long, which is why when the weather is nice, dining outdoors is easily one of our favorite activities. Our latest tablescape embraces the transitions of seasons. Trees still appear bare, but as we look up close it's clear that buds are sprouting and blossoming and spring is right around the corner. Keeping the table light with a few accents of nature, our table represents change on the horizon. A fresh start for a fresh season, as we say goodbye to February and hello to March. Soon the days will be longer and the nights warmer and you better believe we'll be soaking up the warm sun as we can once again dine al fresco. Bon appetit!
