Entertaining Chez Vous

Cancel your reservations and dine at home! These are the inspired, elegant, unpredictable, whimsical and sometimes silly ways it has been done. The secret to great at home entertaining is great thoughtfulness. It’s hard to rival the feeling you get when you sit down to a thoughtfully set table, surrounded by family and friends to enjoy a good glass of wine and a home cooked meal.

In the ancient Quinta farmhouse of Portugal
The warm hued citrus orchard baskets and hand-painted blue motifs mingle with crusty Portuguese bread and soups, bringing comfort to the heart and soul.
Mix & Match
A journey to the sandy Iberian coast inspired this Iberian Journey motif. We’ve reinterpreted this region’s stunning cobalt blue painted tiles and mixed them to our hearts desire!
Quinta Farmhouse Family Style
Rugged ceramics, mouth-blown glassware and sun-steeped ice tea will set the scene for a family style 'serve yourself and pass the butter' kind of meal.

Gather
As we plan holiday gatherings and family events, we like to freshen up our collections and add new pieces to elevate the everyday and make entertaining…effortless. And our new Puro chambray is exactly that! Richly hued in chambray to combine with Sitio Stripe to set a warm and inviting scene.
Chili Cook Off
Have a chili cook-off! Include friends and neighbors for a friendly Saturday night competition. What is your secret ingredient? ​
Potluck Dinner​
Lidded casseroles, bakers, individual terrines and bowls that go from prep to oven, to table, to dishwasher are the key for a successful potluck dinner. We love it all. From meatloaves to baked ziti, layered salads and grandma’s lasagna, the success is in arriving at your destination with the dish intact! Wrap the dish first in tin foil and then in saran wrap. Just remember to remove the saran wrap before re-heating in the oven! ​
Red, White and Blue Inspirations

Happy Labor Day Weekend!
In our book, long weekends are a reason to celebrate. Staycations are always better when shared with friends. Wherever you may live in the mountains, on the beach, or in the city, open a bottle of bubbly and let’s cheer to a well-deserved break.
Goblets!
This essential glass is a chic alternative to a large tumbler. Elegant to hold and drink from, our mouth-blown Bohemian water goblets are the perfect staple for your table. ​ For lunch we double up and place two of the same glass for each person. One for water, so you can hydrate. The second one for sangria so you can luxuriate. ​
Thoughtful Hostess Gifts
Labor Day weekend is fast approaching and we're all looking forward to the many fun events we're attending. We want to bring thoughtful hostess gifts to show our appreciation. The gift of food (with some of our essential bakeware collectibles!) is wonderful to give and receive. ​
Accessorize!
Besides being pretty, placemats anchor the plates on the table so they don't move while we eat and protect the tablecloth from spills. Napkin rings add whimsy and charm complimenting napkins and plates to create a complete look. A wonderful way to elevate your style, placemats are round, oval and rectangular. Available in a myriad of fabrics and textures; our table accessories mix and match to make every table your own.
Light the way!
Candlelight is so flattering! We love using candles on the table in lieu of flowers. Arrange them in them middle of the table in a serpentine pattern or in a geometrical shape. It all works. The glow and glimmer of the candles makes everything (including ourselves) look wonderful.
