SAINT SIMONS ISLAND

WELCOME! This time of year, it is harder than ever to curate your home with fabulous pieces and color palettes that allude to the season. That is why we pulled together a few of our favorite pieces to create a Pre-Fall cocktail party.

In this issue, we hope you gain inspiration to bring life into your home and celebrate the little things. Our favorite time spent is with those we love, most often around a charcuterie board with fabulous wine.

Throughout this crazy time it has become less of a cherished moment to take a beat and look around to those you love and who bring you joy each day. We hope this book finds you well and can motivate you to take a moment to be present in the every day things

Use an array of textures and flavors to keep things interesting. Mixing jams and cheeses or sweet and savory keeps the cocktail hour fun for guests.

Don't forget serving ware to allow guests to plate their picks so they can spend time mingling instead of crowded around the charcuterie.

GLASSWARE Elegant stemmed wine glasses that reign chic.

Juliska glassware never ceases to impress.

We especially love the way the glass rests in the palm. Crafted with timeless endurance in mind, these glasses are a hostess staple.

DECOR Bringing fresh-cut stems into the mix always adds a level of put-togetherness guests will be wowed with.

We adore these etched glass vases for everyday use, or to make a statement at a table when entertaining. These pieces are subtle enough to be adorned with any flower you choose!

CABBAGE OVAL TRAY The perfect whimsical accent to any table.

The favorite of many tastemakers and socialites Bordallo Pinheiro adds an original yet elegant touch to tablescapes. Portuguese artist Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro and his younger brother founded their ceramics factory in 1884. To this day its ceramicists build on centuries of expertise by using original molds for an authentic feel, creating timeless pieces which imitate natural forms – its hallmark is the cabbage tableware which you see available at The Mayfair Hall in the original green and stunning beige encompassing the entirety of the line making us the perfect place for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

CABBAGE SMALL BOWL A small, yet significant bowl to hold treats.

Cabbage, in its rough and flat form, could be used as a metaphor for Portugal’s rustic ways. Think of the Calda Verde soup that's so basic in Portguese cuisine. Because of this importance, Bordallo many times depicted the cabbage in his work. This dinnerware was a clever way to honour it, by making it nice enough for the tables of the bourgeois families, who at one time would have considered the common cabbage too lowly to serve.

WHAT TO WEAR Casual cocktail attire is on the rise and we're here to share our favorites.

Finding that perfect fit that makes your feel like you could wear it any and everywhere can be tricky. However, once you find your style, it's simpler than ever!

Here are a few tips we like to share to make the process smooth so you can get back to popping the bubbly: Go for elevated fabrics. Fabrics with a sheen or heavier weight can achieve a chic silhouette even with the simplest outline.

Find your colors. A large part of the fitting process relies on the client's coloring. Go for flattering colors that make you pop!

Try it on. Always give a piece a "trial run" in the shop and see if it makes you feel like you can take on the world.
