“Around the table” in July!
Where the art of setting the table meets with Pure Food!

Today I am presenting the third table of this series at the rooftop of my home.

Used three different colors; the green - freshness, the red - emotion and the blue - serenity.

Using the same table, location and views one can capture a different atmosphere and emotion.

I was inspired by this beautiful blue sky summer day in Amsterdam. It gives you a feeling of joy and need to be outdoors. An unusual weather for this northern city.

For the three tables I shot the “V” that is formed in the middle olive tree of my garden, capturing the greatness beauty of the Rijksmuseum!

I used again a combination of glassware in clear and blue color. A perfect paring to maintain again the simplicity and minimalism of these three summer tables.

It’s a pleasure participating in the context of and .
I enjoy tremendously and admire all the creativity and beauty displayed.

Thank you again Ale and all the team of jurados!

For the second table setting I have chosen red. At time we feel red might be only Christmas color but for this table in same location and background was stunning how it highlighted so nicely all the green around.

Using tomatoes, paprika and paraguayo fruit to decorate the center of the table, allowed enough space for the delicious lunch.

As you can see the pictures are taken at different angles appreciating the diversity of the typical Dutch weather.

I combine brown and clear glassware, giving a different look to the symmetry of dinnerware and napkins.

Again simplicity and minimalism characterizes this table.

During this month of July I am participating in the contest of table setting with and
Is always such a pleasure to be part of your Chilean community and around the world where creativity and beauty comes together.

As I will participating with 3 different tables this summer, I want to recreate different atmospheres in the rooftop of my home.

Setting the table on this round marble mosaic table made in Cairo - Egypt brings me wonderful memories of our time living there. The ivy design in@petrified wood is magnificent. To admire the table top I prefer to set up the table without placemates.

I choose green to connect with the little oasis we have. As decorative piece I use few of my favorite herbs, basil, coriander, rosemary, oregano, mint, parsley which some will use for during dinner.

Simplicity and minimalism where the guests, food and the balance of all elements become a symphony of a great moment and memory!

our favorite glassware!

Around the table for our son’s birthday!

Setting a table for someone you love is for me the greatest joy. For this special day of his 35th birthday I was inspired by the blue Cristal waters of Aruba where he was born.

Walking into the florist I encounter the most magestic blue/purple hortensias that will enlightened the blue china that gives such a warm and spring feeling.

The menu for this day was super delicious!

🎂 Terrine of avocado with gambas
🎂 Filet mignon in a red wine pepper sauce, with white asparagus, haricot verts and basmati rice.
🎂 Champagne cake with white chocolate

Beautiful evening with family and friends.

A table inspired by “Mothers Day” to be grateful for the our beautiful children and grandchildren.
A day to remember my dear Mother and Grandmother that gave me unconditional love and set my path of life!

Happy Mothers Day to everyone that have had the joy and blessings to be a mom!

I was also inspired by the spring harvesting of lemons. A fruit that I consume everyday as I start my day!
🍋 Squeeze half a lemon in a glass and add warm or hot water. Drink it first thing in the morning to break your fasting “Breakfast”

I am wearing one if my favorite dress that I bought with my friend in Boston at least 30 years ago…today it fits perfectly with my table setting! 😀🍋

Love the combination of the lemon, with the sea and fresh green of the spring.
It gives me happiness and joy the art of setting my table.

“Around the table” in April!
Where the art of setting the table meets with Pure Food!

The dance of the tulips! This time of the year in the Netherlands is the magical season of the tulips. Therefore, I choose for this month the orange tulips with a tint of black. Absolute gorgeous….

Inspired by “Koningsdag” the Kings Day in The Netherlands.
Is a National holiday where the Kings birthday on the 27th of April is celebrated.
The country turns orange, the reigning dynasty is The House of Orange and this is their color. The Dutch Royal Family visits one specific city every year. People celebrate on the streets, the canals are overcrowded with boats, people dancing having a good time!
Streets are crowded with people selling their old and new for the buyers!
It’s an amazing day to feel the country in celebration!

“Around the table” in Bogota.

This table hold a special place in my heart. Table set for six persons, to remind me of the beautiful dinners at my parents and childhood home.

Many memories, celebrations and traditions inherited throughout my life!

Merry Christmas to everyone following us at and

A beautiful moment to set up a meaningful and symbolic table that captures the essence of the magic of Christmas.

My family table for Christmas this year is inspired by my faith of the birth of Jesus. I wanted to display on the color red table cloth, first color of Christmas symbolizing that savior’s sacrifice for all and green the second color of Christmas symbolizing everlasting light and life.
🔔🔔The bells - we are all precious
🕯️🕯️The golden candles -
everlasting light
🎄🎄The trees eternal life also
representing the Holy Trinity
Setting a table for me is to sit around it with your family and love ones to share a meal and connect by having meaningful conversations that give joy in your life or help you understand challenges. Communication being the essence and Pilar of any relationship.

Thank you and

I am very greatful to be part of this group of amazing creative people.

“It’s the most beautiful time of the year” by Andy Williams..
It’s my passion to combine a beautiful table setting with a delicious meal.

MENU
🔔seasonal mushroom soup

🔔coffee with Christmas cookies

Merry Christmas from our home to your home! ✨🔔🎄✨🔔🎄✨🔔🎄
LOVE✨PEACE✨GRATITUDE ✨

Christmas tables are the most inspiring and beautiful moment of the year.
and

A time to be with your family, share with friends and give to those in need.

For this table I wanted the colors of Christmas be highlighted over a white table cloth signifying the glory, purity and holiness of the holiday season.

The Christmas Collection becomes the highlight point of this table.

Traditions on setting Christmas tables give me joy and peace.

🎄Wishing you all a Merry Christmas! 🎄

🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲Wonderful to be part of this context of Christmas tables!
Thank you and to organize this great event in this special season of Christmas.

For this Christmas table I wanted to create peaceful and glorious table using white and gold to represent this two attributes.
I am a collector of Christmas trees objects because of their beauty and symbolism in the Christmas celebration. Every year I rotate them at the table to create a different feeling and ambiance.
For this table I chose only crystal and silver to flow with the white and gold.
The Mistletoe - green plant growing in the trees in the harsh winters with white berries and the green pine branches gave the table a winter wonder land look.
The gold candles lite up like the sun brights up the morning.

🌹Designing and creating a table setting has always been my passion🌹
Setting a table inspires me to look at the purpose of the evening, guests and the ambience.

Today I shared with you a table I set to celebrate two special occasions, our 40th anniversary and my 60th birthday!
RUBI, is the 40 wedding anniversary! A milestone of 4 well define decades and incredible years together.

I created a romantic ambiance to highlight the beautiful tradition my husband have since we married. From the first year of our wedding anniversary he has given me a 🌹 symbolizing our love.
As years went by my bouquet has grown to 40 red roses 🌹 this year.

This table was set up with an intention to place the rose 🌹 in the spotlight to be the protagonist.

The tall round arrangement of roses 🌹 gave the ambience of the vaulted ceilings a magical tone mixing with the beautiful tone of the stone.
To bring down to the view of the guest we placed small vases with the same roses 🌹 and sanguisorba in Latin pimpinella officiallis to give height and movement. It was a magical dance of red roses 🌹🌹🌹🌹

As you know me with purefood, dinner was a very important element of these evening. Therefore we chose Maca De Castro.

The Mallorcan chef, named chef with the greatest future projection by the International Academy of Gastronomy in 2021, received the green Michelin star along with five other restaurants.
We were honored with her presence and sure with the delicacy in gastronomy that all her team put together.

The evening was above expectations we had an incredible “Life Celebration” with our 4 beautiful children and spouses. Family and friends that came from far and from near to celebrate, to be together, in our special evening. I am very grateful for all the love we received. Thank you! ♥️

A Fabulous and magical evening, with everlasting memories!
♥️🌹♥️

Mi tercera mesa para este concurso de verano 2023 tiene su ambiente.

Cuando tenemos la naturaleza como escenario no hay mucho que decorar sino adaptarse a la belleza natural.

Los tonos azules y verdes que predominan en este “set up” son importantes en la composición de mi mesa.

Objetos como los individuales de fique azul y color natural, vajilla blanca con borde azul , cristalería azul combinada con copas de vino realzaron el ambiente de la mesa.

Para entrelazar todo el ambiente natural de los agapantos blancos de fondo utilice ramas de olivo que había sido acabado de podar. Su frescura se observaba en la mesa dándole un toque orgánico y natural.

Las demás decoraciones como
la cubertería, las servilletas, y los platos pequeños sobre ellas unificaron los diferentes azules que se unían al color azul Del mar Mediterráneo.

El blanco de las pequeñas lamparitas y velas le dio a la mesa un ambiente romántico al llegar el atardecer!

Continuando la línea orgánica, utilice las hojas de hiedra con los nombres de los invitados. Pienso esto fue el toque personalizado que le di a cada uno de los amigos que se sentaban alrededor de la mesa para pasar una tarde y velada de risas, divertidas anécdotas y creando grandes recuerdos.

Ya finalizando mi tercera mesa para este concurso, quiero agradecerles por esta oportunidad de compartir con ustedes una de mis grandes pasiones!

Mi segunda mesa para participar en el concurso y

Hoy quiero compartir el contraste del blanco de la mesa de aniversario al negro para una mesa para mi hija por sus 18 años!

Las ideas fueron surgiendo cuando quise combinar el negro de mantelería y sillas con rosado creando un ambiente muy juvenil y femenino. Las rosas Esperanza una de mis favoritas le dieron un toque elegante y ambiente acogedor. Las velas de diferentes tonos rosados crearon una ambiente sutil de luz muy cálida y romántico.

Quería decorar el techo y para esto hice unos pompones de papel de seda rosado y los coloqué de diferentes alturas lo cual unifico la mesa con la altura del techo y los jarrones altos de flores. Estos floreros tienen las mismas rosas y ramas de magnolios que son flores de la temporada de Marzo.

El menu lo imprimí sobre una foto de las mismas rosas. Y para los nombre de cada invitado utilice unas cajitas de plexiglass donde iba la foto de mi hija cuando pequeña y unos caramelos en forma de corazón rosados, que cada invitado se llevaba como regalo.

Cada detalle estaba pensado en función de su cumpleaños y los invitados.

Durante la noche se creó un ambiente mágico con el color rosado que cortaba el negro con alegría, ternura y belleza.

Me gusta la mantelería negra ya que crea un ambiente muy dramático pero al mismo tiempo especial, único y delicado dependiendo de los acentos que se utilicen.

Gracias por ser partícipe de este concurso!

Me siento muy feliz de participar en este concurso de mesas con y

Durante mi niñez tuve la oportunidad de admirar a mi abuelita y madre poner sus mesas con tanto amor, delicadeza y por supuesto unidas con un tema y deliciosa comida.

Ya de joven y casada comencé a poner y decorar mis mesas con el objetivo de crear un ambiente y una experiencia para el que se sentará alrededor de ella. No importa que celebración es o si es el día a día, me apasiona arreglar la mesa y sentir este ambiente familiar que se crea para degustar la comida que he preparado.

Esta mesa que comparto con ustedes fue para conmemorar y celebrar el compromiso de matrimonio de mi hijo mayor.

Para esta ocasión quería crear un ambiente romántico, elegante y sobrio utilizando objetos con un valor sentimental como el mantel de lino tejido con damasco de rosas de la abuelita de mi marido, mi vajilla y cristal de nuestro matrimonio. Platos de pan de plata regalados por mi buena amiga Argentina cuando vivi en El Cairo.

Lo más personalizado de esta cena fueron las manzanas cubiertas de cera color lila, representando el lugar donde se comprometieron en Nueva York ( The Big Apple)y el menú elegido impreso con la foto de aquel momento inolvidable.

El ambiente romántico lo complementaron los arreglos de flores altos con hojas verdes muy delicadas, orquídeas de tono rojizo y rosas blancas en frente de cada puesto. Los candelabros de plata de nuestro quinto aniversario con velas blancas que iluminaron la mesa dándole un toque matrimonial.

Decorar y diseñar mesas es para mi un arte, elegir el color, ambiente, flores y demás detalles van unidos directamente al homenajeado y quienes se sientan alrededor de la mesa!

Gracias por ser partícipe de este concurso!

New York October 1, 2022
Over one year ago my husband who was diagnosed with leukemia 10 years ago and I we were overweight, and exhausted. After two years of pandemic…we both decided to speak with Nutricional Coach Carolina Levie. After a simple, clear and colorful presentation on nutrition and gut reset, we both decided to embrace with commitment a new way of eating and shopping for our daily meals…
After one year of gut reset we celebrate our health and happiness. It was a life-changing decision we both feel great, our energy levels improved, we feel happy and empower to embrace a new day. Thank you Couch Carolina you just didn’t change our lifestyle you taught us how to align mind and body, you gave us the tools to live our lives to the fullest.
