Time to put away the summer brights [Artist’s Garden]
But I’m not quite ready for the deep autumn colors of Fall [Pumpkins and Apples]
So I am easing into the season with muted greens and oranges, sort of like the leaves just starting to turn
The last of the summer garden tomatoes
served in a simple farmhouse style pasta
A simple, country meal
Farm to table, with fresh ingredients
In a humble setting
Individual bread boards for slicing small crusty loaves
Tomato “martinis” with a bed of hay
These rectangular plates hopped into my cart at HG this spring
Perfect for holding a bowl of soup or pasta with plenty of room left over for salad and bread
Layered chargers, a brown rattan square under a pale orange round, emphasize the rectangle shape of the plate
Cream and sage colored napkins, tied with a swatch of burlap and twine,
pair up to catch dribbles from tomato sauce and buttered french bread
I’m dreaming of Tuscany and Provence
and simple days and simple ways
Because before we know it
The holidays will be upon us!
Now that’s a SCARY thought!!
Have a great week!
