A weakness for tableware

As someone who makes her living writing about and taking pictures of food, Bea spends a lot of time thinking about how to set a gorgeous table.

Let’s start with the beginning, shall we?

I am a food stylist and photographer. This simply implies that I am addicted to collecting bowls, plates, spoons, forks, glasses, tablecloth, table mats of all kinds. I have tons of each, in all shapes and colors. My husband begs me to stop buying more, but how could I, really? My answer to him is that I need every single one of these accessories. Because I really do.

But perhaps I should be fair. Even before becoming a food stylist, I already had a weakness for tableware. I love to decorate dinner tables to make them look pretty. When you like to cook and hosts dinners as I do, it’s really fun to be able to have different tableware styles to choose from. Online shopping made a huge difference, helping me to find items that I would never have found otherwise. When Stylefeeder was created, I was finally able to organize my resources, get inspired by other members, and share with others. I fell in love with the idea right away. And I know that I am not alone.

Because I typically find good stuff, I do not think you will mind if I share my findings with you. I think that I will be able to introduce you to designers that, like me, you will enjoy. You do not need to be a food stylist to enjoy an amazing porcelain bowl, or a set of new glasses.

Not yet convinced? Then perhaps you can visit my food blog, La Tartine Gourmande, to get an idea of what I’m talking about, and how I make good use of every one of my purchases.

  • I am so excited to be reading your blog. I also have an extreme weakness for tableware. I can relate, I just needed to buy a new chest for all my dishes and linens!!!

  • I understand your dilemma with tableware. I got the same problem. I am starting to run out of space. One trick that my husband gave me is to decide in advance what things I will depart to make places for the new ones. In my line of work, I see so many tableware wonders that it is hard to not be seduced.
