Get A First Look at Our New Blueprint Dinnerware
Between the morning light and evening candlelight, there is a lot of love and care that goes into creating a meal for family, friends, and loved ones.
With entertaining taking on new meaning in the last two years, we are embracing the return to a simpler life well lived. Creating beautiful moments around the dining table means so much to us that we created two new dinnerware collections that rise to meet you at that magical place called home.
Our new Blueprint dinnerware collection, which is available on our website and at macys.com, is designed with iconic blue and white Laura Ashley prints from our archives. Created to feel collected over time, the dinnerware can be bought as a set or mix and match. The collection includes everything you need to entertain from plates, bowls, and mugs to teapots, cake stands, and a sugar and creamer.
Here is how to make every meal feel special.
Treat yourself and your guests: There is magic in the details. A beautifully set table sends the message that you care about your guests. Setting the table with intention will help you be a better host and allow you to treasure the moments around the table.
Make time for tea for two: The British know a thing or two about afternoon tea. Almost all worries can be cured and your energy can be renewed with a spot of tea.
Rise and shine in a happy place: The best way to get your day heading in the right direction is to start with a purpose. Even if all you have is five minutes, create a breakfast ritual that feels special. Set a place setting for yourself to enjoy morning yogurt, fruit and granola with your coffee and you will feel like you’re staying at your favourite inn in the English countryside.
Celebrate the charm: Transforming meal time or tea time means bringing personality back into entertaining. Have fun with it by finding china with a print that speaks to you and makes you happy. It doesn’t matter if you love florals or a stripe, find a print that makes you want to use your china every day.
Keep it real: Don’t overthink it. Making life simpler doesn’t mean more to do. Treat yourself and treasure the moments with those that you have around you. Even if it is just sharing a cup of tea, the ease of European dining comes in being present, knowing that you are sharing a moment with someone you love.
