When I visited my dear friend Alice Ryan at her home on the North Fork last summer, she laid out a beautiful table with her blue and white china for a casual late lunch. I told her that she didn't have to go to any trouble for me when she politely informed that she sets the table that way for every meal. It's this same attention to detail that goes into every event she plans. This week she organized a a gorgeous spring table to fete Todd Selby and his new book the Fashionable Selby
at the home of Estée Lauder Group President John Demsey. Because Todd and his book are a bit eclectic, Alice used things that John had on hand including the tablecloth and china. The flowers and food were by the lovely Cornelia Guest. The table was located in the cheerful yellow room lined with Fornasetti plates on the garden level that added to the spring atmosphere. Now if it would just warm up and feel like spring!

The fun Fornasetti room with the table set for dinner. Alice used a tablecloth that John Demsey had on hand and set it with his own china that she mixed together.
I love the color combination of the soup, plates, and tablecloth.
Every guest went home with a copy of the Fashionable Selby too.
