Table Setting
Lobster crackers and picks, (Crate & Barrel, White Plains, 914-682-0900) paired with platter-sized plates (Christmas Tree Shops, Danbury, 203-791-1114), make for well-equipped settings. Casual glassware (Simon Pearce, Greenwich, 203-861-4961) holds water and spirits. Embroidered linen napkins (The Elegant Setting, theelegantsetting.com), tied simply with rope, echo the red of the flatware (Ross’s own), lending a nautical note. Finger bowls (Christmas Tree Shops) filled with water and lemon, then topped with towels, make clean up a snap after a hands-on feast. Clusters of hydrangea, punctuated with driftwood, form a simpe centerpiece of natural beauty for the table.
