Come sit with me for awhile .  .  .

and see what I’m bringing to the table

H2O has become an art form .  .  .

How it gets here… (wherever here may be ) .   .   . where it comes from… the highest mountain ranges, or a rushing, gurgling, bubbling, mountain spring .   .   .  as well as .  .  . what kind it is .   .   . spring. . . mineral. . . artesian. . . filtered. . . double filtered. . . triple filtered. . . distilled. . . flat. . . bubbly. . . or whatever else someone may create.   .   . one thing is for sure, we can not live without water. 

Whatever your water passion may be, there is one thing for certain .   .   . whether you serve it room temperature, ice cold or hot, it has to be served in something !!! .   .  . AHHHHHHHH .   .   . now were getting to the real point of this column…

There are hundreds of containers available for water service. From the simplest and most inexpensive Rubbermaid pitcher ( you all know… the one with the pop up spout that we sold lemonade from in front of our house… come on , I know you remember ), to the full blown crystal water pitcher. No matter what container/serving piece you select .   .   .

Spruce it up .   .   . it’s easy and takes just an extra minute or so. This simple added minute will take the taste up a notch or two, and also pump the visual meter way, way, up !!!

Now here is the out of the box @tableofferings . . . suggestions . . .

Pick from thin slices of mango, peaches, crisp slivers of Granny Smith apples, sprigs of mint .   .   . or use the tried and true slices of cucumber, lime, lemon, orange,  . . .and, and,  and … well I think you’ve got the idea.

Each part of your table setting is important, and plays a major role in the overall presentation. Sooooo don’t ignore the smallest of details, they make up the whole.

Please burn candles responsibly…
remember to trim wicks to between 1/4-3/8” before each burn.

Till next week…
