<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We are so thrilled to partner with another local KC company, <a href="https://nevawear.com/" target="_blank">NEVA</a>, for this awesome 4th of July SALE! What's better than getting in shape, hydrating & support local business...while looking fabulous?! Let us tell you a bit about these awesome women - here's what our friend & co-founder of Neva had to tell us: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">"<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Neva Activewear is made up of two Kansas City moms who design and produce high-quality custom activewear while hiring women across the world to hand-stitch inspirational messages on each piece. Our goal is to offer meaningful employment and to empower these women to be able to care for their families in ways that were previously inaccessible to them. Our latest line is eco-friendly, made in America and hand-stitched by women (immigrants, students, moms and grandmoms) right here in the Kansas City area. As the mothers of small children ourselves, we understand how important it is to be able to bring home an income while still caring for your family. Designed in beautiful colors with an active lifestyle in mind, NEVA is the perfect addition to your wardrobe. We all wear activewear every day, so why not make it mean more?"</span></span></div>

Love what this cute aunt & uncle did for newlyweds - a post-wedding picnic! Filled with some favorite treats, they included La Plates <a href="http://www.laplates.com/Gingham-p/lapl10_105.htm" target="_blank">Gingham Plates</a> + a few <a href="http://www.laplates.com/La-Plates-custom-monogram-cups-p/pp_554.htm" target="_blank">Frost Cups</a>.

We sell all kinds of <a href="http://www.laplates.com/La-Plates-Acrylic-Lucite-s/67.htm" target="_blank">acrylic & lucite</a>, but our obsession goes much deeper... On a recent trip to visit some of my besties in the Bahamas, I couldn't help but snap a few photos of these fab pieces. The entire house was amazing (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/MariannaLaneInteriors" target="_blank">Marianna Lane Interiors</a>), but I only went snap crazy on these crystal clear gems:<br />

It was suppose to be a bit longer, but seriously people - there were monograms to create! Anywho, what does one do with this bed rest prescription, but sign up for Netflix & become addicted to multiple shows & binge watch every episode?!<br />

If your kiddo is requesting a party with the same theme, let me give you the shortcut version & all the links to helpful sources. Before this event, I thought it was "Mindcraft", like my child was using his mind to create structures. Through all my new BFF's via <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/LaPlates/minecraft-party/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, I learned so much more & I pulled off a party that my son said was "EPIC"!<br />

Decor was basic & was made out of things I picked up at Hobby Lobby or Target - the invitation & a lot of the signage, I created using the <a href="http://www.fontineed.com/font/minecraft" target="_blank">Minecraft font</a>. You can find invitations & signs on Etsy, if you don't want to make them. Throughout the party, we had tunes playing from this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPufklDc18h_yT3IoK8eGOTfJe35Uwrq0" target="_blank">YouTube playlist</a>.<br />

So the planning has begun - we have a house full of obsessed Minecrafters! I whipped up this plate, thinking I'd surprise the birthday boy with cake on it, the day of his party. He saw it 3 weeks early and went BONKERS.

Inspiration can pop up anywhere. While traveling, I find my mind is open to seeing pattern, color & design all around me. On our recent trip to Naples, Florida, I couldn't stop snapping photos at <a href="http://www.driftwoodgardencenter.com/" target="_blank">Driftwood Garden Center</a>. If you're in the area, stop by - you're sure to be inspired!</div>

We've been big fans of the Royal fam for ages. From Diana & Charles' wedding to Kate & Will's, we've followed along, moment by moment via tv. Once the newest royal arrived, we designed <a href="http://www.laplates.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-royal-baby-is-here.html" target="_blank">La Plates fit for a prince</a>! </div>

It's been a long winter for all. Taking time to travel to the warm beaches of good old Florida was all it took. Naples, Marco Island, Captiva & Sanibel Islands are the places we called home for a few fun-filled, family days. Can't wait to plan for 2015!<br />

I'm sure many of you have mom duties with your children's school...this year mine has been co-chairing the school auction. While it's been a busy couple of months, I can say we pulled off a serious James Bond party this weekend! I was glad to check it off my list, but could not have asked to work with better co-chairs, committee members and school "family". All the time was well spent, as we raised a lot of money...and had a great time!</div>
<br />
If you're planning a Casino Royale in the future and need any graphics, I'm happy to share! You can check out our inspiration via <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/LaPlates/007-casino-royale-school-auction/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> and see some of our event below:<br />

Do you ever have one of those days that just doesn't work right - that was yesterday. Thought all was going well, then lost our internet connection - just a bit of a headache when you run an online biz. Anywho we're back on track, but we decided to make our iThings deal run through tomorrow while we catch up around here. If you have an android phone, just check our <a href="http://www.laplates.com/Monogrammed-Cell-Phone-Cover-p/516.htm" target="_blank">Monogrammed Celly</a> dropdown & see if we carry your style phone.La Plates Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02589490471938584606noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298737542106881935.post-37930928610977874772013-11-20T06:25:00.000-08:002013-11-20T08:25:51.055-08:00 12 Days of Thanksgiving : Day 5<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
