The New Orleans shop has a well-edited selection of antiquities and curiosities for the garden. A '50s French cast-cement pelican statue and a miniature tazza-form urn (above) are included among the vintage lanterns, gates and fountains.

Entertaining Outdoors
Marshall Lee and Bentley Graham explain the best ways to bring the party outdoors.
• Whether or not you have a patio, pick a location that means something to you. Find an area on your lawn under a tree you planted yourself or a spot where you once saw a comet, and then create the atmosphere there.
• Make a large, sprawling lawn feel more intimate by assembling potted trees around the table.
• Don't forget the lighting, which can be a mix of votive and taper candles, as well as oudoor lanterns.
• Mix in fine china and silver with more rustic and outdoorsy elements plucked from your own back yard.
• Use items that are often found outdoors. A stepladder with a plate on it makes a great table-side tray.
• Keep it simple for mobility.
• Have a rain plan. It can include bringing the outdoors in by clearing out your dining room, hanging outdoor lanterns, potted trees and other elements you would have used outside.
• Have weather-appropriate gear available to your guests. If it is a table for two, bring a special gift of a wrap or jacket for your date.
