A Loving Table

What is your favorite memory as a child?

A vacation? An event? Playing games at home?

This may not surprise you, for me it was our family meals. 

I have the fondest memories, of my mother’s fried chicken and sitting around with platters on the table of homemade goodies.  My mother was known for her southern cooking and not using a recipe- throwing it all together and hoping for the best.

A Loving Table: Book Review

When I first looked through the book, A Loving Table, these childhood memories ran through my mind.

I first saw the book at event hosted by Design Matters NC.  I attended the two day event and it was a sight for my eyes.  

The event was attended by many southern interior designers.  Over 26 designers came together to inspire us with the most beautiful table settings.

This past weekend, I had the chance to finally sit down and read the book.  Of course this was with a cup of tea and a side of chocolate. 

I was inspired by the beautiful photography and also the stories told by those featured in the book.  

Thirty style-setting women paid tribute to their mothers and grandmothers.  They shared their stories of meaningful birthday parties and holidays around the dining room and kitchen table. 

Don’t miss out on this beautiful journey into the refined and elegant world of entertaining.
