The other day I came across this picture from the <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/">Anthropologie site</a> that i'd bookmarked. I remember saving it for future viewing because I felt quite comforted by the atmosphere that emanated from it. This is by no means your typical table setting - it's eclectically rustic { jute table cloth, wooden cheeseboard, fabric napkins }, juxtaposed against delicate prettiness, { rippled slender glasses, muted yet colourful plates }, in a room that appears to be lighted by a single light source, { subdued lighting is a fave of mine }.

I must say that this room looks more suited to the French or Italian countryside, and with that comes an almost overwhelming wave of gastro-memories. Apple tarts, cheeses and scallopped potatoes - all dishes that are<a href="http://www.epicurious.com/articlesguides/seasonalcooking/farmtotable/seasonalingredientmap"> in season</a> now.

I hope that Anthro post more styled table settings in the future that reflect the season as well as this one does. Not to mention that its a great advert for their products!
