Eleven Essential Accessories for Living the Good Life Al Fresco
Sun. A slight breeze. A garden or beach front deck. Your best friends. Your family. Is there any better way to spend an afternoon or evening together than to entertain al fresco?
Here are my favorite ways to add some summer fun to your entertaining style and outdoor table settings.
Statement Piece. I love these oversized metal urns for making a grand statement. Fabulous "old world" design, but won't break your bank {you'll have enough left over to serve champagne, shrimp, lobster and a French dessert}, just pop in a potted hydrangea for an instant designer centerpiece that will wow.
Summer Sips. Tote your favorite bottle of summer wine, and a few glasses to your deck or garden with one of our antique French Bottle Holders. Stylish & practical.
One of my current favorites? Channing Daughters' Rosati di Sculpture Garden , grown in Bridgehampton, in a field blend - everything was planted, grown, picked, processed and fermented together. It has a gorgeous light coppery pink hue…merlot based but with a wild edge including bramble fruit and spice, floral, herbs. The perfect wine for drinking outdoors, versatile at your table…from tomatoes Provencal to grilled ribeye to local bluefish. 
Casual French. Set your outdoors tables with a mix of antique and new French themed dishes, glasses and linens. Casual, elegant, the way we entertain today.

I love the red, white, blue theme. The linen towels with blue and red stripe are my favorite.. I have some antique ones from my mother n’law. So glad that they are re-surfacing. I have many old white bedspreads, that I can not part with, cutting them down to be used for a tablecloth is a wonderful idea.. thank you! I love white because you can bleach it if red wine spills…
