The Party's in the Bowl When It's the Ellen Bowl by William Yeoward

By the look of it, the Ellen Bowl by William Yeoward is simple, plain but with a closer look you'll find out how amazing this bowl really is! The Ellen bowl is a robust bowl who's beauty is within its flowing shape, honest craftsmanship, and practical nature. I knew this decorative bowl showcased salads beautifully, but after seeing it in Gourmet Magazine, I now know it's perfect for showing off a flavorful and colorful punch. In this specific article and also shown in the adjacent picture, they have a bright orange summertime Gin punch, but this bowl works all year round. It will wonderfully display all the colorful holiday drinks to come. Try it with apple cider, mulled wine, or eggnog. Click here to view more William Yeoward Crystal available at Sallie home.

William Yeoward Carafes: A Wonderful Host/Hostess Gift!

According to NBC's Today Show "Trend Report" manners are a trend that never will go out of style. Saying "thank you" to a host or hostess is a must; especially if you ever want to get invited back. Showing your gratitude with a great gift is always a great way to guarantee that invite back. The "Trend Report" recommended some great gifts for your host or hostess including William Yeoward's carafes - and I can safely support this recommendation.

William Yeoward offers two luxurious carafes that can be used as a beautiful beverage service on the table or as a exquisite vase. The Wisteria Carafe by William Yeoward is my favorite and probably our most popular carafe. this crystal design is lovely and is accented with delicately etched leaves and vine. The Country Carafe is simple yet divine. It has the same crystal shape as the Wisteria Carafe but this one does not have the etched design. Say thanks to your summer host with William Yeoward's carafes.

Dress Your Table With William Yeoward Fine China

The joy of having your own home is being able to entertain in it. Successful entertaining begins with the perfect atmosphere; and the perfect atmosphere begins with creating an exquisite tabletop with beautiful dinnerware. If you are entertaining frequently, then you probably find your table looking repetitious as most people only have one set of fine china. For this reason, before you invest in fine china think about what pieces you are buying and how, with those pieces, you can stray away from the 'static-table' pitfall.

A new trend of mixing and matching china patterns allows a host or hostess to actually change the look of their table using their fine china. Recently, in her bridal registry, a bride-to-be combined two different William Yeoward fine china patterns, Avington and Gosford, to make her place setting. Unknowingly, she just created the prefect example of how to successfully mix and match china. The bright solid coloring of the Avington pattern will act like a picture frame, emphasizing the beautiful pattern that adorns the Gosford dinnerware.

Choosing a solid as her base allows her to change the look of her table just by switching out the pattern plate with another. As long as you stick with complimentary colors, and a balance of solid and pattern, you too can easily spice up your dinner table at an affordable price with mixing and matching.
