Warm Hospitality


The table on a cold winter's evening....



The classic table...



Candles in the dark...



 A wintry table...


Katie Quinn Davies once asked a very good question on her blog:

'If you had your own cookbook, what would you want it to be all about?'

What a fun question!

(A dangerous question because it makes a girl start to dream.... =])

I'm not a great pastry chef - or any kind of gourmand or die-hard foodie, at all.

What I love to death - always have - is offering hospitality!

And that is what my 'cookbook' would be about. ;-)

I love Susan Branch's motto: 'from the heart of the home'!

It's interesting. I was talking to a friend about getting back on course with exploring some food photography and she made the keen insight that it's tricky to capture an image that is hospitable.

Just thoughts!

Anyhoo, switching topics at the speed of light!

I LOVE my tripod!!!

(...just wanted to shout it out! ;-) )

and...

yes, there were some extremely pleasant and warm moments spent around this table with the family and a friend or two! =]

...and,  quite honestly, it was just as much fun to have a moment alone - myself, my camera and that table!





and, of course, I always have well wishes... =]


I hope your winter is just as warm and sparkling, these days, too!

  4. What a beautiful series of photographs this is!
    Cookbook? Definitely hospitality first, but a close second would be anything sweet! :-)

  6. I love those black and white photos Katy! I can't really say my winter has been 'warm and sparkling'. Not that we've had that many truly cold days but I am quite tired of the snow and then the rain on top. Mother Nature confuses me.... ;)

  10. Oo! I'm coming over for dinner! Your photos are lovely, and I not only got wonderful lenses for Christmas, but 2 different tripods that I need practice with!
    Thank you for the inspiration here!
