Tabletop Tuesday: Serving Pieces

September 24, 2013 - Posted by Dawn Stary to General

Serving pieces are, of course, another important part of the shared tabletop experience. Beautiful and functional serving pieces can help set the mood of the meal. Below I have highlight three pieces that would bring ease and grace to any meal. Each item is made of a different material and are different in share and size. These pieces would be lovely as gifts for friends (especially as hostess gifts) or would be a nice addition to your own collection.

This unique piece would work for any kitchen!

These striped bowls remind me of the striped kitchen towels my grandmothers had in their kitchens when I was growing up!

Tabletop Tuesday: Aprons & Oven Mitts

September 10, 2013 - Posted by Dawn Stary to General

In order to get food to your tabletop it’s nice to have a little assistance from aprons and oven mitts. While it might seem that aprons aren’t a necessary part of cooking and baking I would argue that they aren’t just a pretty accessory. If you are like me you might be a little messy when you cooking and baking. And if you are a neater cook than I, well then I would say aprons are still a nice touch! Oven mitts are, of course, a necessary part of baking and cooking, at times too and if you need to have an oven mitt than why not have a unique fair trade oven mitt!

Here are some of my favorite aprons and oven mitts from our collection!

This one reminds me of the aprons my grandmothers wore in the ’40s and ’50s.

Table Top Tuesday: Fair Trade Home Goods

July 23, 2013 - Posted by Dawn Stary to General

Happy Tuesday! This week I thought I would change things up a bit; instead of How Tuesday or Tasty Tuesday not why try Tabletop Tuesday?!? I do enjoy a theme. Seven Hopes United has many lovely fair trade home goods to choose from so it seemed like a very good idea to feature some of them in this post. Also, summertime is a time of picnics and friends and family coming together to share laughs and to create memories over good food and tasty drinks. The fair trade home goods I picture below use simple colors that are welcoming and that would be perfect for a dinner party, evening BBQ or even a nice summer brunch.
