Elbows Off the Table is not about pristine manners or curated perfection. It’s about inviting beauty into the everyday.
I'm Katrina Meynink — cookbook author, recipe developer, chaos wrangler, and now, accidental linen romantic.
What started as a quiet obsession with hand-painted linens and ceramics has tumbled (with great enthusiasm and a few splashes of paint) into this boutique collection of tableware: lovingly imperfect, full of character, and designed to bring a little artistry to the everyday. Each piece is hand painted in limited runs — no mass production, no carbon copies, just small-batch beauty that invites you to eat with your eyes before the first bite.
Because I believe a meal should feel like a story — and the plates and napkins should be part of the plot.
These linens and ceramics aren’t here to sit quietly in the cupboard. They’re made to be lived with: to host the spontaneous dinner party, soak up the sauce, bear witness to late-night laughter and the kind of crumbs that say, you were really here.
So whether you’re plating a Tuesday pasta or going a full a la carte menu just because it’s raining outside, I hope these pieces bring joy to your table.
Thanks for being here. Let’s make some (beautiful) messes together.
