if you have a yard and in appropriate weather, plant fragrant flowers and herbs near your windows and open them before guests arrive.

i have a table almost exactly like that, but a bit larger. definitely vintage and authentic. the arches of the legs are more relaxed, the wood is darker and the brass tray looks a bit finer. we fou...
