Pacific & Rose's best summer sale!

 



Summer entertaining season has officially begun! One of my favorite ways to start each season is to treat myself to some new table linens, and now is the perfect time to stock up on the most beautiful table linens of all! 


Pacific and Rose is having a big summer sale!

 

This 4th of July Sale provides a 30% discount on online purchases.

The 30% off sale will also be available in person at Seaside Gallery and Goods from July 3rd through July 6th, 2025.

 




This garden table was elegantly arranged with a stunning Pink City tablecloth, set a few weeks ago in my vegetable garden.

 

With each gathering, I’m reminded that the heart of entertaining lies not only in the details we thoughtfully arrange, but in the memories we create around the table.

 




Whether it’s a spontaneous brunch with friends or an elegant evening under the stars, welcoming others into our homes brings a kind of magic that lingers long after the last candle is blown out.

 

I’ve found myself drawn to patterns and colors in Pink City that echo the vibrancy of summer. Sun-warmed pink linens that flutter in the breeze and create a sense of joy for me and my guests. 


There’s an undeniable joy in curating these textures and tones that set the stage for laughter and conversation.

 




As as I get inspired, I’m eager to share these little discoveries with you—each piece, each story, another page in our shared journey of hospitality and style. Let's look at this other gorgeous pattern...

 

Isn't this Cypress pattern ideal for all types of summer dinner parties?





It's all about enhancing your dining experience with the Cypress tablecloth, featuring a sophisticated pattern in mellow yellow, soft pinks, and fresh greens. 


Inspired by the renowned Tuscan cypress trees, this design captures the essence of sunlit landscapes and tranquil outdoor dining.  


It is an ideal addition to any summer soiree, whether held indoors or alfresco!






As the season unfolds, continue to highlight the little things that make gatherings special: a treasured pitcher brimming with fresh lemonade, candles flickering in the twilight, even a favorite playlist humming in the background.

 




These are the details that linger in memory. That amazing trip to Italy is brought to the forefront of our minds and homes with this exquisite Cypress tree pattern


It's the subtle touches that transform an everyday meal into a cherished occasion and create memories that last a lifetime.

 




July in the garden is truly enchanting. I recently arranged a table using the latest linens from Pacific and Rose. The French blue stripe pattern, known as Breton, adds a sophisticated touch.

 

There’s something about setting a beautiful table outdoors, surrounded by the lush greenery of July, that turns even a simple meal into a festive occasion. 


The gentle rustle of leaves overhead and the subtle fragrance of blooming the jasmine infuse every gathering with a sense of celebration.

 




I love how the right linens can transform an ordinary afternoon into a scene straight from a summer dream—each napkin, runner, and tablecloth adds its own story to the mix.

 

Recently, I’ve been experimenting with mixing and matching patterns—pairing the classic stripes of Breton with cheerful florals, or layering textured placemats beneath delicate plates.

 





Although I do love the simplicity that a matching set brings. It creates a relaxed elegance to any setting, inviting guests to linger a little longer, savoring both the meal and the special moments spent together. 


Breton is the perfect pattern for this look! I love how the two tones of blue in this pattern create an invitation to add all tones of blue to the table. 

 




It’s these small, thoughtful details—freshly cut garden blooms in simple vases, sparkling glasses catching the sunlight, and the glow of candles at dusk—that make each occasion so memorable.

 




There’s something truly empowering about starting a new season, especially when it comes to sharing ideas and beautiful moments with all of you.


These Pink City Napkins just make my heart sing! Look at the attention to detail in this pattern!

 




And as I explore new inspirations, I’m eager to share these little discoveries with you—each piece, each story, another page in our shared journey of hospitality and style.


Isn't this Pink City Table Runner with matching placemats and napkins simply ideal for summer dinner parties? 


BTW, all the flowers shown are grown by me in my backyard cottage garden and vegetable potager.

 




The Raj Placemats, featuring Maharajas, elephant palanquins, and royal Indian charm, are conversation starters. Pair them with matching Raj Napkins. I find myself inspired by the interplay of nature, history and design of this toile pattern.

 

Each piece tells a story—woven in color, tradition, and artistry. Take, for example, the exquisite handiwork behind these linens: a celebration of heritage and craftsmanship that elevates every setting.


Choose from blue or red, or do as I love to do... mix and match!

 

There’s a certain magic in knowing that your table is adorned with items touched by skilled hands and centuries-old techniques, blending the beauty of international artistry with the comfort of home.

 

This pattern and all that are pictured here today are hand block printed by Jaipur artisans on 100% cotton fabric.

red, white & blue alfresco night




The start of the summer season means we’ll be alfresco-ing all day! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even snacks... 


And why not, when red, white and blue is ‘all that’ for summer? I love this color palette!

 




Summer entertaining has become a true joy with these fun additions to my collection of tableware and decor. 


As the days grow longer and gatherings move effortlessly from sun-dappled patios to cozy indoor spaces, I love having pieces that blend charm with practicality.

 




I’m also loving my new rattan and glass cloches. They’re great whether we’re dining inside or out. 


These 2 different sizes are so perfect to hold a variety of our favorite muffins, cheeses and fruits and best of all keeps our snacks protected from the elements and the bugs.

 



In addition to the fun cloches, a few other new treasures I found are sprinkled around like the votive candleholders, blue and white plates, windowpane plaid throw, pedestal and the vintage inspired jug holding the flowers.

 




Every year I look forward to my blue agapanthus blooming so I can combine them with whitehydrangeas and ruby red geraniums from the garden for a fun patriotic look.

 

It’s these little touches that make every meal feel special and thoughtfully styled, whether it’s a festive brunch with friends or a quiet evening supper with family.

 




Layering different textures and patterns—think crisp linens, woven accents, and delicate glass—creates a sense of relaxed elegance that feels just right for the season.


To tie it all together, I love adding fresh flowers in unexpected vessels and scattering a few candles for that magical, golden-hour glow. The result is a table that’s both inviting and a true reflection of summer’s easygoing spirit.

 




The pretty striped 100% linen napkins and tablecloth are from All Cotton and Linen. They’re so perfect for this kind of summer look!

easy apple roses for dessert





Apple roses are truly are a delightful treat for both the eyes and the taste buds. Plus, they're surprisingly simple to make, considering how fancy they look. 


🍎 Have you ever tried making them before? 🍎


Apple roses are not only delicious but also beautiful. Here's a simple recipe to make them from one of my favorite UK magazines.


(Metric conversions are under the recipe)




*25 grams = 1/4 cup sugar

*500 grams = 18 ounces frozen puff pastry dough
like Pepperidge Farm  

*190°C  = 375°F

*60cm x 5cm = 24" x 2"


🍎🍎🍎

Apple roses are versatile and perfect for various occasions!

 

1.  Holiday Gatherings: They make a stunning addition to Thanksgiving or Christmas dessert tables.

 

2.   Special Celebrations: Birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings could be extra special with these elegant treats. 

 

3.  Tea Parties: Impress your guests with a beautiful and delicious accompaniment to their tea or coffee.

 

4.   Brunches: A lovely treat for a weekend brunch with family and friends. 

 

5.  Mother's Day: Show appreciation with a homemade and heartfelt dessert.

 

6.  Dinner Parties: Serve them as a fancy dessert to cap off a wonderful meal.

 

7.    Valentine's Day: A romantic and sweet gesture for your loved one.

 

8.   Just Because: Sometimes, you don't need a special occasion to enjoy a delightful treat!

 

🍎🍎🍎


You can get creative with flavor variations for apple pie roses. Here are some of my favorite flavor upgrades:

 

1.   Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar on the apples before rolling them up for a classic apple pie flavor.

 

2.   Caramel Apple: Drizzle a bit of caramel sauce on the apple slices or the puff pastry before rolling them up. 

 

3.   Nutty Delight: Add a sprinkle of finely chopped nuts (like pecans or almonds) along with the apples for a nice crunch.

 

4.   Berry Blend: Mix in thin slices of berries like strawberries or raspberries with the apple slices for a fruity twist. 

 

5.   Spiced Apple: Add a dash of nutmeg, allspice, or cloves along with the cinnamon for a warm, spiced flavor.

 

6.   Cheesy Apple: Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on the puff pastry before adding the apples for a creamy contrast. 

 

7.   Chocolate Apple: Spread a thin layer of Nutella or chocolate spread on the puff pastry for a chocolatey treat.

 

8.   Citrus Twist: Add a bit of orange or lemon zest to the apple slices for a fresh citrus flavor.

 

 

Feel free to experiment with these variations to find your favorite combination. Enjoy your baking adventure! 


🍎
