Stylish Outdoor Entertaining

With summer finally here, it is beyond time to get ready for outdoor entertaining. Of course it must be done in style and we have the perfect accessories for you to do so here at Peacock Alley.  Lots of our items are well suited for the patio with their durable and casual nature.  Below we have listed some of our favorite items and accessories for those back yard bbq's.



Calaisio
All Calsisio serving pieces are hand woven by artisans in remote villages in the South Pacific. The materials used and attention to detail make each piece stylish yet highly functional.  Calaisio's mission is to bring the world products of timeless design, quality and duablility.  Most serving pieces are sold with glass bottoms, white Pillivuyt dishes or Pyrex bakers which makes them quite user friendly. 



Mariposa
Mariposa offers several styles including aluminum, melamine, and napkin holders that are all perfect for outdoor entertaining.  Mariposa's aluminum pieces are not cookware but they may be warmed in the oven up to 325 degrees…and don’t forget that they hold a chill as well.  Our favorite style in the aluminum is the pearled collection.  I addition to the aluminum pieces, Mariposa's festive and colorful melamine serving trays and napkin holders are a must for any pation get together. The napkin holders come with whimsical weights to keep the accompanying Caspari napkins from blowing a way.




Peasant Re-usable Paper Placemats

Peasant Mats are made from custom-designed recycled paper that's rubbed with a special wax coating to help repel water and stains, then crinkled to create a marvelous texture. You can use peasant mats again and again -- up to a dozen times in most cases -- by simply shaking them and wiping them clean with a slightly damp cloth. Plus, Peasant Mats are reversible to help extend their use. And you'll never need to worry about laundering them - when dirty, simply dispose or recycle. They are sold in sets of 12 for $18.00. See colors below.


Logotype Napkins

Matouk's Logotyle Napkins are brand new and add a preppy pop to any table. They are embroidered with a single intial on white diamond pique.  The initials come in navy, coral, linen, azure, and spring green and measure 22x22. They are sold in sets of 4 for $99.00.
