90 Days of Summer

There is nothing quite like a slice of watermelon on a hot Summer day. Actually, I take that back.

This dessert is quite like a slice of watermelon and will cool you off any day this Summer!

Modeled after a super cute dessert in a 1998 issue of Martha Stewart Living, my version of this mold requires only 3 sorbets (lime sherbet, lemon & raspberry) and a handful of mini chocolate chips to liven up your next party.

And the beautiful paper plates? April Cornell, of course!

Start enjoying the 90 Days of Summer!

Tea Towels as Art

I have always loved April Cornell tea towels. They have great color combinations, are a thick waffle weave and wash like a dream. 

But do I use dishtowels for dishes? No, not always.  Sometimes I use them as art. I fold them in stacks and display them in the china cupboard, or arrange them in a wire basket near the kitchen sink, or stretch them on a frame. 

The lovely peach & salmon tea towel shown in this photo usually hangs from a hook on the rack in the distance and adds a lovely touch of fabric and color to a quiet corner.

My Italian grapefruit soda bottle and "Abraham Darby" english roses match perfectly!
