A Season Ending Table
September 21, 2012Our last table of the Summer season, and oh what a stunning end of season it has been. We had guests to the island for a Sunday supper, and with a nod to the season ahead, many of the farm stands had apples galore for sale. The small apples got my mind churning about how to set the table. The glorious dahlias had made the trip in from town, and the color & combo of the 2 worked swimmingly together.
The apple John Derian plates along with the flour sack apple motif dish towels that would be the napkins continued the theme. The red handled Laguiole cutlery just always makes me happy when we get to use it.
The red glassybaby and the salt and pepper lending to the red themed table. Those little red apples so sweet.
A stall in the Market had these huge bunches of rosemary that looked fantastic, so that would add a little herby goodness to the table in a simple clear drinking glass.
And those dahlias! Just a big bunch in a clear glass vase as not to compete with the flowers. They make me weepy they are so good.
As the sun danced around in the late afternoon, the table was set. Ready for the last meal of a memorable Summer.
