Put a Little Sping in Your Table with Le Jacquard Francais Table Linens

The suns out, the birds are chirping, saying it's time to decorate with cheer and bright colors and designs. Spring is here and entertaining is on your mind! Whether you celebrate Easter or Passover, you need a welcoming table to share with your guests for these special occasions. Le Jacquard Francais has some wonderfully vibrant and fun table linens for spring; my favorites are the Jardin Exotique and the Jardin Medieval.

Both have the perfect coloring and design to host the perfect spring and even summer gathering. The Jardin Medieval is patterned with birds, flowers, and leaves against a bright pastel backdrop. Jardin Exotique is woven with lush vegetation of the Tropics for a more contemporary look. Both are 100% cotton and are offered in napkins, tablecloths, placemats and table runners.

It's Not Easy Being Green: Anna Weatherley's Bright Green Dinnerware

It's not easy being the Bright Green Dinnerware from Anna Weatherley; this beautiful color has been discontinued and there are only a few pieces left. In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I wanted to feature this vibrant dinnerware. There is no better way to eat your corn beef and cabbage than on one of these plates. The charger, mixed with other colors, is a wonderful way to brighten up table setting. If you are missing or have broken a Bright Green dinner plate, bread and butter, saucer, charger, teacup or latte cup or if know of some one who has, find the replacement at Sallie home.

Cashmere Feel for Less: The SFERRA Delemont Blanket

Even though it's made of Merino Wool, the Delemont blanket by SFERRA is almost indistinguishable from the cashmere feel. The best part about this Delemont blanket, it is a third of the price of cashmere. The wool comes from Australia, where the air from the sea helps the sheep grow uber soft and long fibers; making these wool fibers remarkably close to cashmere fibers. The Delemont blanket is lightweight and perfect for year round use. To make your bed more comfortable, choose from SFERRA's three warming colors: honey, ivory, or chestnut.
