Weekly Favorites

It may be nearing the end of summer, but that’s no reason to head inside just yet.  This weather is perfect for spending relaxing evenings on the porch or hosting a Labor Day shindig out-of-doors.

My favorite things this week are inspired by nature and perfect for some late summer gatherings.

The  Portland Collection dinnerware by Thomas Paul is a great way to serve guests inside and out.

Handmade Cheese Plate by Luna Reece.  A great serving piece year-round

The Reed organic flannel blanket is perfect for a cooler evening.

Often overlooked as a useful object, Tweet the bird would come in handy for holding down napkins or tablecloths on a windier day.

These beer bottle votives are great on the deck and easy to carry when it’s time to bring the party inside

These weighty tea towels can be used in so many ways – as placemats or napkins, to cover less-than-perfect outdoor seating.

Happy Monday!
