Over the weekend we hosted my family for dinner, so I took some time in the morning to set a comfy, springy table.
I pulled out my Wheat Wreath Napkins that have a warm, gold color that look great for spring – especially with the purple and white hyacinth. I paired them with a rustic natural and cream linen cloth (from a few seasons ago). It is great to pull out old favorites – sometimes I get so caught up in the current season’s products, that I forget to use favorites from seasons past. But, I know many of you have these same linens, too, so I think it is great to show how they can mix and match and look fresh, again.

And someone sneaking a chunk of baguette – and walking through the frame to show me!
Here is the menu, I’ll write another post at some point with menu and recipes. I recreated the RL Salad we had over the summer at the RL Restaurant in Chicago – everyone loved it.
**One note for the store : Tomorrow, I’ll be restocking some favorites that sold out too quickly in the Spring Collection. I’ll send a separate email reminder later today.
Now, onto the week ahead. Here is what we’ll be having for dinner :
It is still raining here, so comfort food is sticking around for a while. This is a Springy Pasta that has lots of comfort and is a favorite for everyone.
Barefoot Contessa’s Skillet Roasted Chicken served with Wilted Lettuce & French Potato Salad (below).
On Saturday Morning… We haven’t had these donuts in a while, and I’ve been thinking about them : ) Homemade Chocolate Glazed Donuts (easier than you think!)
