I love a well-dressed table. Having awesome meals on an ugly table is kind of like watching an amazing movie on a tiny, fuzzy TV screen. A table that balances colors, pattern and texture well creates a festive backdrop for meals and events, and I think it enhances meal-time so much–that it can even make the food taste better. I have designed a few fun table setting ideas for you here, mixing the old with the new, including the handmade and the ready-to-wear (cuz you know how I do)…

i am not often a fan of the color orange, but when you pair it with that blue — BRILLIANT. & i love the way you pulled together the collages (à la the accessorize yo face series).
aww thank you V. I’m trying up the collage game a bit–having fun with it. Thanks for noticing!
