Summer entertaining should be relaxed and colorful. Our chefs have put together a few great menus just for summer. If you want to take off for a fun night out or you want to get inspired to host a summer party check out their delicious menus. Gift certificates for cooking classes also make great gifts. Either Chef Fredy's Argentinian Barbeque class on July 15th or Chef Pendry's Back Yard BBQ class on July 22nd would make a great father's day gift.

In the store, we have summer entertaining accessories in hues rich and bold to match our bright summer days. Gorgeous summer cutlery from France in bright colors, and beautiful French linens made for the patio that you clean with a damp sponge. Fun colorful glassware, paper goods and candles for outside and in. French summer linens are 20% for a limited time, including most special orders. We also have great wedding gifts from Juliska, Mariposa, Match and many other great venders. We can wrap and ship your gift, leaving you with more of those lazy summer days to enjoy!

Stop by our kitchen on Saturdays from 10-12 when Chow! Bella catering and others will be sampling summer recipes. We will host a French Summer Fair and Linen Trunk Show on June 25th. Take 20% off you linen orders on this day. Bring in your dinnerware and table dimensions for a perfect selection. We are also featuring many beautiful products from France for summer-candles, cutlery will all be 20% off this Saturday only. And we will savor some fine French foods and wines while we shop! Why not! And don't forget our great 50% off on hundreds of top lines at The Wilmette Sidewalk Sale on July 9th and 10th!

Summer is a short and precious time for us to enjoy. If you are not escaping to another part of the world this summer, join us for a great cooking class. They are like taking a short vacation via the world of food and fellowship. Whether you need a gift, a new tablecloth or are looking for a great deal at our sidewalk sale, I look forward to welcoming your back!

Sincerely,

Candace Mirza, owner
