Although we entertain all year round here, it is our spring and summer lunches and dinners that give me the most pleasure. The milder weather, the colors in the garden, the longer days. So many good reasons to entertain and invite friends.
Meals can be organised ahead of time, but it is the spontaneous invitations that I love: “hey, the weather is beautiful, are you free for dinner in the garden?” ….
Providing we are warm enough, we linger a little longer at the table, put the world to rights over a good meal and a glass of wine. The small pleasures. Always a few flowers on the table, a pretty cloth, and some whimsical detail to entertain and comfort.
This is the spirit behind our May Box – Spring Dining.
I imagined those effortless moments we all long for this time of year. A table set with just enough detail to feel special, never overdone. Pieces you reach for without thinking, that gently find their place in your habits and your way of entertaining.
Inside this Box, you will find a selection of seven carefully chosen pieces, including something beautiful from Sabre, a cutlery brand I have long admired for its joyful approach to the table. The rest will remain a surprise for now… but each item has been selected to bring a sense of ease and charm to your spring gatherings.
We are also continuing our collaboration with our resident artist, Yves Damin. His second illustration is included in this edition. His work captures those quiet, fleeting moments of French life so naturally – the details that often go unnoticed, yet make all the difference.
Altogether, this Box is an invitation to enjoy the season, and I am delighted to offer two of these Boxes as a gift!
