Time to Take Your Dinner Outside

May 06, 2013 2 min read 5 Comments

Spring. Friends. Family Dinners outside in the garden. Is there any better way to end the day or celebrate the weekend?

I love nothing better than to treat my guests to a simple, delicious meal outside. Is it any wonder that I love these Linen table cloths, runners and napkins? Stylish, casual and romantically tasteful, the tablecloths, runners & napkins make setting a simple elegant table so easy. These sumptuous table linens have a shabby French unfinished edge for added texture, available in White or Bark. Perfect for the French & Belgian country style we all love.

Tie each napkin with a little twine, insert a cutting of rosemary, simple touches like these are a great way to let everyone know :"I'm so glad you are here!"

Perfect for a crowd, or just the two of you. These linens have a great unfinished edge, best part, they are 100% machine washable and only get better with washing, they get softer and softer. I don't iron mine, I love that slightly rumpled look, just be sure to take them out of the dryer when it beeps. See the Linens here.

What to serve? I am loving this delicious Pizza by Christine Ha, winner of Master Chef. I love her, I love this pizza, and so will you! {Sorry Christine, I cheat and use a premade pizza dough to save time}

Christine's Arugula Mozzarella Pizza. Serve with a great big salad, a few wines or sparkling water, and a light dessert. Dinner in the garden = DONE!

Love this recipe, it sounds delicious. Thank you for the great packaging of my new Limoges pitcher, no one makes a package as special for customers as you guys do. It’s always like a birthday!

Love this post. It’s a little early for that where I live, but I can’t wait. Ordered some of your new red checked dishes and a linen tablecloth ahead, in anticipation. Thanks for the recipe too, it was delightful to find Christine’s blog thru you. Ellen
