Creating a Joyful Tablescape


I love a beautiful table. Creating a fresh spring tablescape in the shop was a delight this season with our gorgeous, handmade "Fleur de Lis" Italian Ceramic Dinnerware, Calaisio Placemats, La Rochere "Beeware" Glasses, Burnished Vine Flatware, and my favorite Le Jacquard Francais "Jardin Exotique" tablecloth with "Tivoli" Mocha Linen Napkins.

Everything seen here can be purchased online and in our shop R.H. Ballard, in Little Washington, VA.  Call our shop with any questions regarding our products or for assistance with designing your own unique tablescape for spring. We are open every day, 10am - 6pm, except major holidays, 1-866-503-3349, www.rhballard.com.

Calaisio: Handmade Elegance
and Eco-Friendly




Springtime Entertaining! I just love those words...

We just received a spectacular shipment from Calaisio filled with beautiful and unique serving pieces for your next indoor or outdoor soiree. Calaisio is a special company.  They bring a product line of timeless design, quality and durability while taking care of the environment and giving back to the communities of the artisans who create their products.

 
Calaisio Trays displayed in the shop

Calaisio, Inc., is committed to investing a substantial amount of its profits back into these villages to further improve education and sanitation. It's such an important part of why I carry this line in my shop.

Also, the vine used to construct this all natural design is called "vignes d'eau" or "water vine" and only grows in mountain jungles on remote islands in the South Pacific. It is difficult to reach the vines and challenging to harvest, but once reaped it grows back quickly leaving no damage in these ecologically-sensitive forests. 

Furthermore, each piece is created by one artisan.  Included with each design is a statement of authenticity attesting to the time it took to create and is signed personally by the artisan who created it.

Here are images of what we are now carrying online and in our Main Street shop.  Just click on the description to be taken directly to the web page where you can view and purchase the items.

Enjoy, and Happy Spring!
