Yesterday we had my mom and dad over for dinner. We were celebrating my mother's birthday and had our typical birthday dinner. Boeuf bourgignon, with mashed potatoes, and a salad. For dessert apple dumplings with a little ice cream. Completely delicious if I do say so myself!
I love using this green tablecloth, especially with white dishes. Speaking of these are my new white dishes. I've looked for quite some time for the right dishes. I had a square set, but they were very heavy. Since then I've been looking for just the right thing. I ended up settling with these Corelle dishes. They are supposed to be durable, they are gorgeous, light, and pretty much go with anything. The bonus is they are pretty affordable and I can buy extra sets to accommodate extra guests.
I have to be honest, I wish I set the table like this more often. It's so pretty, and you know what they say...you eat first with your eyes. Having visually appealing food and tablescape is very important! It doesn't have to be over the top fancy, or expensive, but having a table cloth and treating it with care makes it so much more special.
Last but not least, look at the gorgeous new dutch oven I have! We had planned to have this for Christmas, but I ended up burning it...very badly So badly the dutch oven was too far to save. In the month of time I didn't have one, I realized how much I use one. Like...all...the...time. I'm so happy to have one back in my life!
