Even if the Winter hasn’t been terribly awful, it’s still nice when Spring arrives. Longer days, open windows, fewer layers. And, eventually, dining outside. Make the most of precious open air eating with tableware so nice you’ll even want to use it indoors as well as outdoors.
DuraClear® Tritan Outdoor Multicolored Double Old-Fashioned Glasses (set of 6) from Williams-Sonoma
Shattered glass is such a pain to get out of the pea gravel. Plus who needs the fuss of hand washing crystal after a barbecue? These BPA-free, dishwasher safe beauties won’t crack, break, cloud, or discolor to boot.
Melamine Street Eats Dinner Plate from Hudson Grace
With the look of paper plates, these long-lasting melamine versions will keep that casual vibe going for your tableware. They come in a variety of sizes as well as other shapes (including hot dog sleeves!) Dishwasher safe and break resistant.
Geo Feather Fuchsia Napkin | Set of 4 from Pomegranate
Paper napkins. Really? These Boho-chic, hand block printed cloth napkins in 100% cotton are colorful while transporting you to someplace fancy. Sigh, if only they still made that orange Bain de Soleil gelée.
Graypants Wick from Graypants Studio
Rechargeable models (typically using USB connections) are easiest. These charming aluminum lights can stay plugged in inside by day and brought outside at dusk. It’s a bit of tech that somehow feels old fashioned, in the best possible way.
Awning Stripe Tablecloth from Serena and Lily
First of all, that tassel edge! This yarn-dyed cotton cloth is just the right balance between casual and chic, and will complement everything you put on top of it. Machine washable, too, so no need to worry. Available in three sizes including square.
