Allow us to gloat for a minute: We're really good at celebrating. Our snacks are always on point, our playlist full of "this is my JAM" moments, and we've got that lighting thing down pat. But we're always on the lookout for new ways to celebrate and new friends to do it with—so this holiday season, we did both!
Meet our new Madewell x Food52 designs, a collection of entertaining supplies that, well... celebrate celebrating! They're now available in our Shop and at these 14 Madewell stores far and wide.
Our collection with Madewell is full of entertaining essentials—all with a charming edge.
We asked some of our longest-standing makers—Circle Creek Home, The Vintage Vogue, Hawkins New York, Pigeon Toe Ceramics, Candy Relics, Vermont Lifestyle, Ella Lou, and Willful—to help put together the tools and treasures. So, what'd we cook up? We thought you'd never ask.
The collection includes:
- Shibori Cocktail Napkins: 100% cotton and 100% drop-dead gorgeous. Might even outshine your best holiday drink!
- Shibori Tea Towels for lining bread baskets, playing hot plate, or the most fashionable dish-dryer ever.
- A porcelain "paper cup" with a sweet pink painted interior. Plop a to-go coffee lid on it and take it with you wherever you go!
- Rosemary Lavender Bar Soap—we keep ours next to the kitchen sink for a burst of nose-tickling freshness.
- Winter Wreath candle—instant holiday ambiance, minus pine needles all over your floor.
- A Blush Spoon Rest that keeps your cooktop clear of spills and is cute, to boot.
- Speckle Painted Birchwood Coasters for perching those martinis in style.
- A Modular Marble Trivet & Cheese Plate that can be multiplied and re-arranged for a myriad of entertaining tasks.
- Paint Dipped Pinch Bowls—the sweetest way to salt & pepper your holiday feasts.
- And Paint Dipped Wooden Spoons that look as good peeking out from a salad bowl as they do working hard in your kitchen.

Thanks!
The recipe you see is inspired by the grape crostini in this post: https://food52.com/blog/17973-9-sweet-slumpy-reasons-to-put-your-grapes-in-the-oven
Instead of roasted grapes, our test kitchen chef used poached quince. Here's how he did it:
- Peel the quince, quarter it, and scoop out the seeds.
- Heat up a pot of hibiscus tea with some sugar. Add a peeled & chopped up raw beet (that gives it the pretty pink color!), and add the quince.
- Poach the quince until *just* cooked through. Too long and it will get mushy.
- Let the quince cool, and slice thinly.
- Then lay it atop toasted baguette slices slathered with ricotta! Enjoy!
