I kept thinking about th...Once again, a good one...<br />I kept thinking about the comments about fashion vs authenticity... that's tough.<br />Personally, I love the whole farm to table movement and a dear friend who was a food critic for 18 years is a huge proponent...<br />And we have laid out our own garden for this spring... thank goodness my husband LOVES to garden...<br />The issue of restaurant-ware and practicality is tough... <br />The coffee mugs I made for a fairly high end restaurant/bar here either broke or walked...<br />That said, durability is definitely a problem and YES chefs want the FOOD to be the star... <br />In our home, we eat off of all handmade that we have collected...<br />Chipping remains an issue but it is worth it to us....<br />However, it is not the norm around here... people find it so "cool" at my house that we do that...<br />Friends ask me to make them a mug "like this one"...usually Sam Taylor or Julia Galloway, etc... <br />I tell them that is not what I do... because that is what THIS artist does...<br />and I know I have been responsible for several on-line sales as I have sent them off to purchase elsewhere with <br />website addresses in hand as they left my house... I love to do that...<br />The farm to table right now is certainly the way things are TRENDING but hopefully that is the beginning of something... <br />vs an actual TREND. <br />Lindsay's show was a great way to get those veggies on the table in such an attractive way!.<br />Judi Tavillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17841680807609051483noreply@blogger.com
