Weekend Chic: AERIN Springtime Entertaining

 




SPRING ENTERTAINING AT HOME

In Spring it was common for my mom to place a table underneath a large tree in the garden and our family would gather for a lunch or early dinner she had prepared.  She loved for us to take the time to "gather" and share moments of our lives, have a conversation regarding hopes and dreams...When we were young she would put crayons or colored pencils and paper on the table during dessert, which was always fruit based, (whether a galette, or berries with ice cream) and have us draw Happy Easter or Spring cards to send to our grandparents, give to our teachers, or leave at the neighbors' doorstep.  Living Beautifully for me is making purposeful memories with our family and friends, no matter how small the gathering.  In my husband's family, during dessert a family member or friend who couldn't make it would receive a phone call and the phone would be passed to each person to say hello and send their love or congratulations, whatever the occasion called for.  My husband, our son, and I have been recipients of this long distance gathering and it meant so much to be far away and yet still be close.   

AERIN has introduced a new beautiful line for your Spring or Easter table... with lovely fresh touches to make your gathering (and memories) special.

On The Coffee Table: MILIEU Spring

 


Spring has arrived after a long winter.  For me, I was in much need of some inspiration...One of my favorite sources is MILIEU Magazine; with famed designers Pamela Pierce and Shannon Bowers as Founder/Editor in Chief and Editor at Large respectively, you can imagine how gorgeous it is.  With our new series, On The Coffee Table, we want to showcase products and publications that highlight living beautifully across design, architecture, travel, cuisine, and lifestyle, and it only makes sense to start with MILIEU which brings all of these elements to life.  It really is the Best in Show; here's a sneak peak...Enjoy!
