After visiting Mrs. Howard last week for their tabletop trunk show, I'm happy to report that people are still buying china, linens, napkin rings, and other table accessories. Thank goodness. I thought only a few of us were still entertaining at home. Happily, that doesn't seem to be the case.
Geoffrey Ross of Dransfield and Ross and Marc Blackwell were there to assist the ladies with updating their china and linens. (I'd love to say ladies and men, but I only saw female customers.) Now tell me, wouldn't you want to entertain a home, a lot, if you had pretty pieces like these?
Here's cute Geoffrey Ross ready to help update our tables.
Dransfield and Ross give napkin rings a whole new and fun look. How cool is that Taj Mahal ring? You wouldn't even need to put a napkin in it; you could just display it somewhere.
Dransfield and Ross napkins. Which color to choose?
Marc Blackwell's tabletop collection, also seen at top. Polka dots, stripes, and lots of silver and gold.
For information on the Dransfield and Ross and Marc Blackwell collections (oh, and William Yeoward too), contact any Mrs Howard location.
I have to say I agree with you, considering I just recently bought some new dishes myself. There's nothing that says you can't have Chinese take-out or your special family casserole on a pretty table.
