tory burch tablescape thursday

set the table like celeb designer tory burch. aqua is the color, so gather everything aqua & white & blue that u have & get to it! note the little potted plants & the bamboo flat ware.


here's tory in her kitchen. is she getting ready 2 fill that gorgeous aqua vase with blue hydrangea? no! she uses the vase empty & smaller vases 4 the flowers along with the little pots of plants for her tablescape.


she uses matching place mats & napkins. tory says: “My mother used Porthault linens while I was growing up. They keep their traditional charm while introducing new prints.” Place mat and napkin set, $110.
mmmmm don't know about that tory. i might have 2 find somethin' at home goods.

the food is served on different plates in different patterns & shades of blue and white.



here's her recipe for this yummy for the eyes dish:

Roquefort Grapes

Serves 25

1/2 lb Roquefort cheese
1/2 lb cream cheese (not gum-based)
1/4 lb pistachios
1 bunch (about 1 lb) seedless green grapes, chilled

Thoroughly blend the cheeses, then cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. In a food processor, chop the nuts finely. Remove the grape stems. Coat each grape by flattening a small amount of the cheese mixture in your palm then rolling the grape and cheese between both palms; transfer to a waxed-paper-lined pan. Refrigerate for 3 hours until firm. Roll the grapes in the chopped pistachios to cover completely.
