A touch of bamboo

(Juliska bamboo Flatware)

I've had so much fun setting up the Juliska Bamboo dinnerware and mixing it in with our original Juliska pieces. An easy way to mix it in with your existing China is add in the bamboo charger which can also be used as a serving plate. The mugs and salad/dessert plates are also fun side dishes to incorporate the bamboo flair.

Hand-painted and dishwasher safe:)

Fall Entertaining Part 1

For all of you who read this post last year, you know that I am new fall lover.

And now that I am a new Thomasvillian, I am also a pine cone lover! And I love these Pine cone tea lights ($11 set/6) pine cone candles ($6), glass logs ($18) that we just got in. Add to your dinner table and it is suddenly fall! In the meantime, I am planning couples dinner party around a long farm table, syrup kettle fire, wine and hearty soup kind of party, so ....stay tuned! Pressure is on!

Juliska Fall 2010

Have you seen the Juliska Fall entertaining ads? They are gorgeous. I love how they mixed dainty hand-blown glass with the pewter. My eyes instantly gravitate to the hurricane vase with the apples, the masculine candlesticks, the bamboo handle pitcher, and the "Ralph Lauren" slate walls. I love to see the bamboo and delicate glass pieces transition so beautifully into the fall. Oh, and of course I love those Isabella footed water glasses! They are already on my Christmas list!

By they way, the bamboo collection is new for Juliska. I don't have these in stock, but I can gladly order some sample pieces if you would love to see them up close. As for Juliska's "pewter", it is actually their stoneware with a metallic glaze finish. It has the look of pewter, but dishwasher and microwave safe.
