I’m so excited to debut new cloth napkins, drink coasters, and felt trivets today, as part Cotton & Flax’s new Holiday Collection! All the tabletop goods in this collection are designed with entertaining in mind. This time of year can be hectic, and slowing down to enjoy a meal or a drink with friends and loved ones is one of the best ways to mark the season.

I aim to create pieces that will make hosting a dinner party or cocktail hour a little more fun. I hope this California-inspired lookbook gets you excited about entertaining friends during the holiday season.

This new afterparty napkin design comes in two colorways: flax linen (a Cotton & Flax classic), or a beautiful dark green, which is a gross between a dark forest and teal shade. Either option makes a great addition to holiday cocktail hour.

Trivets are finally back in the shop! Felt trivets have become a staple in my home, they make any dinner table feel more festive. Plus, they are as useful as they are beautiful – they protect your table top from heat and scratches, while adding a graphic pop of pattern to the decor.

This lookbook came together with the help of some amazing friends: Laure Joliet photographed the scene, expertly styled by Caroline Hwang. My lovely friends Katie and Lisa also joined us for the afternoon, and the dinner that Caroline created for us was truly delicious. I love the way Laure’s photos capture magic hour in LA.

I’ll be sharing more details about the individual products in the collection in the next week, but you visit the shop now to see what’s new. Let me know what you think of the holiday collection over on Instagram or Twitter!
