CBS and CNBC have reported that people are entertaining at home more and more during these challenging economic times. This could very well be the hidden blessing of this economic recession. Could it be forcing us to get back to basics and focus more on the important things in life – the people who mean the most to us – versus going out and being distracted by the glitz and glam surrounding us? Of course there is nothing wrong with going out and experiencing the wonderful establishments in our communities but there is definitely something to be said about inviting friends and family to your home. There is really little else that means as much and that says to our loved ones how much they mean to us. When we invite our loved to our home, it is important to make these visits special, beautiful, and memorable. We do this through our hospitality and attention to detail and quality in the food we serve and what we serve it on as well as other accents to make our home inviting. Whether it is a clean white porcelain bowl or an intricately painted Taika bowl from iittala or a simple yet bold black and white piece from Christopher Jagmin or a strong Swedish wooden piece, it is these little statements that will make your guests feel special and wanting to come back time and time again…..and will have them wanting to return the favor!
