Cool Off with Courtly Check

The Dog Days of Summer

Or as the French say,

"Canicule"

In any language, this time of year is

HOT ~ HOT ~ HOT

But I know a place with cool temps and cool things.

Come along with me to . . .




Neiman Marcus' Gift Gallery



And my favorite MacKenzie-Childs' look

~ Courtly Check~



Ottomans, Pillows, and Poofs




Courtly Checks and Courtly Stripes . . .



With a punch of red.



Whimsical Fun!



A fashionable mix for the table.



Delicate porcelain from

Mustardseed and Moonshine, South Africa . . .




Absolutely adore these

fabulous chargers in poppy red . . .




And the Courtly Check covered cake plate

ready to head out to a picnic.

Metal Accent Pieces From Donna Karan



A Bit of Asian Influence



Bamboo Chargers by Juliska,

topped with MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Check dinner plate,

Mustardseed and Moonshine salad plate in poppy red,

and porcelain noodle bowl with chopsticks by Donna Karan.





Such a clever presentation with the

chopsticks an integral part of the noodle bowl design.




Interesting Layers of 

Color, Pattern, Texture
