I created this table at our 1923 house on Philadelphia’s Main Line. I wanted it to be a casual, bohemian table using natural elements and traditional touches, like my favorite set of brown and white spongeware plates. I was going for a more subtle Thanksgiving vibe, so I kept it more to the season of fall. I’m in love with those lavender and eggplant tones in the placemat, napkin and tablecloth. The mercury glass picks up the silver of John's napkin rings and complements my bamboo flatware. To give the table a natural, bohemian look, I kept the floral arrangements to simple elements clipped from my backyard. The begonias add a fresh green look and pick up that dark purple in the tablecloth as well as the lighter tones of the fall hydrangeas.

As much as I have missed travel the past few seasons, Fall in Virginia is simply divine and truly an inspiration on its own. Thank goodness my husband is a clever chef and like so many, we have really leaned into entertaining within the comforts of our own home. For me, there's something very cathartic about setting a table. It's like creating a room for a client, but without nearly as much pressure. The new linen collection from John Robshaw made it a delight to create a warm and elegant evening for friends. With the simple addition of cozy throws, a roaring fire, and s'mores - you've got the perfect evening under the stars!

I love a layered, eclectic vibe for my tablescapes, so I mixed JR’s newest table linens in hand blocked batiks with my favorite Casa Gusto Caprichoso plates, Mottahedah’s Vista Alegre salad plates, Aubergine Morocan glasses, and rattan and bamboo.

John Robshaw linens were the inspiration that drove the rest of the scheme. Love the color and the scale of the pattern. It made it so easy to build from.
