On the Table: The Outdoor Feast

Summer is the time of year when we like to take advantage of the outdoors as much as possible. Exploring the marshlands that surround Savannah is always an exciting prospect, though somewhat of an unrealistic venture to attempt on a regular basis. Dining outdoors however, is something we can do everyday! The summers may get hot here in Savannah, but that won't stop us from enjoying a delicious meal in the beautiful southern landscape. As moments like these continue to inspire us, it makes displaying our tables at the store for such an occasion all the more fun! And we've been having a blast with our latest tablescape! Creating more of an intimate setting, we've incorporated a few of our favorite earthy items for an all-natural atmosphere filled with pinecones, sage bundles and plenty of dried flowers! Bon appetit!    

On the Table: Early Summer Gathering

It's hard not to love summer. Everything seems to slow down this time of year, which is a refreshing break from the typical chaos leading up to the summer. It's also the time of year when it's much easier to find time to visit with friends and family. Sitting down for an evening meal outdoors is just about as good as life can get and we plan on doing plenty of it this summer! With our latest tablescape, we've incorporated our favorite summertime linens and cloths for a light summer feast. Vintage gold-rimmed plates, enamelware mugs and colorful French flatware make this table the perfect setting to gather around, catch up with old friends and make new summer memories in the south. Dinner may not be ready just yet, but at least we can set the table for when it is. Bon Appetit!    

On the Table: A Friday Feast

It's Friday and we're getting ready for the weekend with a brand new tablescape! There's nothing we love more than finishing the week off with a delicious meal with our friends. The company of others and the memories made around the table is one of our most treasured joys in life. It's been a rainy week here in Savannah and all of April's showers have truly brought on lots of beautiful May flowers. Watching Spring come into full bloom is something that has always profoundly inspired us. And for today's feast, we wanted to bring some of that inspiration right to the table. Incorporating all of our favorite natural items, including our antlers, nests, moss, branches and petrified wood, we've set the table for a spring evening filled with nature, friends and new memories. Bon appetit!

On the Table: Vintage White and Gold

There's something about white and gold dishware that always seems to captivate us. Its simplicity and classic beauty will always bring us back to it no matter what the occasion may be. If we're having afternoon tea with friends or celebrating the holidays at the table, white and gold is always our "go-to" first choice. One of the many reasons why we obsess over it is because of its versatility. Whether you're dressing it up for a fancy luncheon, or keeping it minimal for a brief bite to eat, white and gold china will bring a timelessness and beauty to the table like no other. And with today's tablescape, we're hoping for a little bit of both. Accented with our olive wood serveware and terra cotta candles, we've set the table for a simple spring feast. And we're excited to dig in! Bon appetit!

On the Table: English High Tea

Maybe we're just romantics but we've always relished the idea of English Afternoon and High Tea. Being intentional about taking a break in the day to share a cup of tea and a bite to eat with your family is unfortunately much less common than it used to be. We always strive to enjoy the moment we're in and make the effort to be intentional about our time, but we can't deny there are times when life gets busy! It's in these hectic moments that we like to remind ourselves of what's really important, which is why with our latest tablescape we've looked to English High Tea for inspiration. For us, the table is a daily reminder of what matters most; friends, family and the experiences we share together. Bon appetit!

For the Table: Handmade Napkin Rings

When we begin setting our table, whether it be for a simple meal for two or an entire spread for all of our friends and family, we like to be able to bring something that makes the table truly unique. In many cases, napkin rings can seem like an over embellishment and the last thing we want is to make a meal feel too formal and alienate our guests. However, when done right, napkin rings can really add that extra nuance to the table, bringing a subtle accent to the rest of the decor. Such is the case with our latest collection of wooden napkin rings, handmade by Collin Garrity. A beautiful assortment of exotic woods, each napkin ring matches its quality with beauty and undoubtedly brings life to each place setting at the table. Perfect for small or large gatherings, formal and informal, and unquestionably a beautiful accent to your table, these handmade napkin rings are an absolute must have this spring!  

Available at The Paris Market.

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!
