“Nil” Dinnerware by Hermes

Named after the Nile River and the beautiful vegetation on the banks – this pattern can be loads of fun for summer time dining.

Deborah Rhodes makes a lilliypad placemat that is ideal for this service.  A bit fancier and loads of fun are beaded palm fronds and hot pink puca shell place mates from Kim Seybert. Kim Seybert also makes my favorite place mat- a green beaded square mat- just calm enough to add a pink monkey cocktail napkin to- from Dransfiled and Ross. The madras napkin is not an exact match but is the perfect compliment for just that reason. For informal dining- you can’t beat the bamboo from Juliska or dress it up for dinner with gold or silver flatware- Nil comes with your choice of gold or silver rim
