For the Tomato Tasting Dinner Party, I wanted the setting to be very simple- farm-to-table-esque.
-Red Striped Natural Linen Napkins (that I made- see note below)
-A Cherry Tomato
-Herb Box Centerpiece (see note below)
-Match Pewter Bud Vase with White Zinnia
-Pewter Flatware
-White Pantry Plates
-Country Wine Glasses
-French Water Glasses
-Bare Wooden Table
I made the napkins out of a natural linen fabric and painted red stripes
around the bottom edge using a dry brush technique.
I have made
several varieties of napkins and towels for my home using this same
technique. It is so simple- the only skill required is being able to
sew a straight line... actually you don't even need to be able to sew if
you can find the napkins pre-made, you can just add the stripes to
embellish them.
Here is the link to the DIY instructions for creating your own!

I am suddenly craving a nice juicy ripe tomato! I love the simple but elegant presentation....and yellow tomatos always add so much to a table.
ReplyDeleteJenny,
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty post. The colors of the tomatoes are so summery and pretty. I love the simplicity of your setting.
I also wanted to let you know I prepared your weeknight bolognese Sunday evening for Hubby...it was a huge hit. We both thought it compared favorably to a much more complicated bolognese recipe I have and provided the flavor and sanctification without hours of work. Thank you.
