If you follow my blog,
you know I've been
cooking with lemons of late.
I've had these pretty shell
shaped dishes for over a year.
I only have two of each, as
they were a clearance find at TJ Maxx.
I simply couldn't leave them
sitting on the shelf at $2 a piece.
So they came home with me and
have been waiting to star in a tablescape.
If anyone knows a source for more
of these beauties, please let me know.
Last week when the "chef" cooked up
Preserved Lemon and Spring Vegetable
Risotto with Grilled Pernod Shrimp,
I knew just what dishes
I would use for our luncheon trays.
Vintage French Ivory Flatware
More of my monogramed linens
from early marriage days.
We have a set in brown that I used
here in last week's brown and white table,
and these in lemon yellow
which are just right for our lemony lunch.
It was the perfect time to use
our special Parisian napkin rings
which were among a Paris brocante gift from
Jackie @ Bliss Farm a year ago June.
Merci Beaucoup, Jackie!
We adore using these charming
rond de serviettes.
Lemons and seafood are a
perfect pairing. Click here for the

A glass of vin rouge is
a nice compliment.
A pretty tray for
Monsieur and . . .
One for madame.
Bon Appetit!
