the cutest additions to any tablescape

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always had a thing for owls. They’re just such elegant and mysterious birds, and I guess that’s part of the fascination for me.

That’s why I’m super excited to bring out this set of Owl Salt & Pepper Shakers from Vagabond House for Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays. They’ll be sure to brighten up any table we set!

 

Hooo wouldn’t want this pair of cuties serving up salt and pepper at the dinner table?

And since they're made by Vagabond House, I know the quality is superb!

 

Here’s a little bit about Vagabond House... They’re proud to be a family-owned and operated company that specialize in fine tableware, serving ware and giftware.  

 

Each item is artistically designed and finely crafted from the highest quality pewter and other beautiful and durable natural materials.  

 

The owls are a part of this greater tablescape that I’ll be sharing here on the blog in a few days. They fit in so nicely with the warm tones of the tablecloth and these amazing Thanksgiving poinsettias.

Up until this year I’d never heard of Thanksgiving Poinsettias, but I’ve come to learn that it’s a thing, and I just love how they bring that indescribable autumn feeling to the table.

Some of my favorite holiday entertaining essentials are from Vagabond House. This year, as we gather around the table, we can set a table that will brings so much joy to our friends and family.

 

We can surround ourselves with pretty things that remind us of an old-fashioned Christmas.  

The collections from Vagabond House are full of natural elements. Truly inspired by the family’s love of nature, nurture, celebration, tradition, and style, each piece is lovingly designed and solidly created. 

 

Their products are exclusively designed to be unique, functional heirlooms for those who seek to express tradition and style in both family and formal entertaining. 

I even have a few more of their cute pieces that feature an owl or two... 

  

My friend Jennifer makes these gorgeous succulent-filled pumpkins and sells them locally. This white one is just divine. 

I set this fun pumpkin on my Owl Cheese Stand, and they just look like they're a match made in heaven. 

And how about these gorgeous Pewter Owl Napkin Rings? These little cuties inspired me to set a chic black and white table.

What I really love about them is they can be used any time of the year, and they're sure to bring a smile to my face!

a summer gift for the table

Weekend brunch calls for a pretty little bowl of berries and my Bronze Song Bird Wood “Tidbit” Bowl from Vagabond House is perfect for adding a little hint of summer to the table.

 

It’s another one of my favorite Vagabond House pieces that just makes an elegant statement at any table.

 

Think of the possibilities for this little beauty…

I filled it with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, and them sprinkled on a few cheery chamomile and blue borage flowers.

a new little gem for Valentine's Day

 

Hi, everyone! I’ve had a nice long break this winter, and now I'm back with a few of my favorite things to share. I hope you're doing well so far. 

 

Since the holidays, most of my time has been spent in the garden, creating a new perennial border where we removed a small lawn. Once it starts growing a bit more as we head into spring, I’ll share photos and details. Today it’s all about Valentine’s Day! 

 

With Christmas and New Years behind us, the next holiday to take note of is Valentine’s Day. For today’s feature, I’ve teamed up with Vagabond House to showcase these gorgeous feather napkin rings, created in heirloom quality pewter, and so lovely for any occasion.  

 

To accentuate the beauty of each napkin ring, I chose simple soft pink napkins and folded them in a soft fan pattern to fill the plate, and add movement to this look. 

One of my favorite patterns of red transferware is “Asiatic Pheasant” by Johnson Brothers, and I selected this pattern specifically for the bird motifs, which work nicely with the feather napkin rings. 

In the background, you can see the pretty Song Bird Candelabra, another lovely item I cherish from Vagabond House. It’s just the right size for an intimate table setting and is just filled with charm! 

 

The tablecloth, place mats and pink goblets are all vintage, and if you look closely, the flatware is also from Vagabond House.  

 

It’s the Acorn Flatware set that I love to use for fall, but works just as well here with the feather and bird motif, which makes me think of a romantic woodland setting. 

 

This year it will be just a cozy table for two. Not sure what’s on the menu yet. What will you be having to celebrate? 

 

ciao! fabiana
