Holiday Trunk Shows

We've started the wild La Plates holiday tour and hope we can meet you on the road! So far, we've been to Memphis, Asheville, Charleston & Nashville...all shows in private residences. Thanks to all that have made it a fabulous holiday season already!

Now the tour continues and we'd love to meet you and share many new products from La Plates! The next three shows are a fabulous way to shop in person and for a great cause!

These placemats make me happy...

You know when you're having one of those days and then you have a reminder that life is good and we should be grateful for all we have in life. When we made these placemats we were having that day...think if these placemats greeted you each morning? I'd be skipping out the door daily, ready to conquer world peace! I love creative customers - good work!

Halloween treats...

Are your kids thinking about Halloween already? Well so are all of us here at La Plates! Be sure to order by October 16th for delivery by October 31st.

Happy Birthday to...

OK, so it's my birthday, but I like to turn the tables on my big day. Instead of getting gifts, I like to give them. Actually, I wish I could give all my friends their birthday presents on MY birthday, because I just stink at remembering everyone's big day!

In honor of all those dates that have slipped by me I'm calling this the "Happy Birthday to YOU" deal. Buy a set of 5 plates, get 1 FREE...buy a set of 10 plates, get 2 FREE...and so on. There is no code for this birthday treat, just mention it in the notes or personalization section.
Details of the Deal: Don't buy 6 and then email us to take off the charge for the 6th plate - we'll have to cancel it all and start over - a pain for everyone! Also, a "set of plates" means they are all identical...not an individual name on each plate - make sense? Expiration of the Birthday Deal = October 13, 2009...my Nana's 90th birthday!

iMag is loving La Plates!

After having the fabulous KC Fox 4 News crew interview La Plates as "mompreneur" company, the national Fox News Channel contacted us! Checkout their recent Quick Tip on iMag, recommending La Plates as a great product for function and style, thanks for the love!

Man's best friend deserves La Plates!

Checkout our new products for your favorite preppy pooch! La Plates just added a combo set for a personalized mealtime set for dogs. The placemat is 12 x 18 and is laminated for an easy wipe off during messy meals. The bowls both hold 16 oz. of food or water and are labeled "eat" and "drink". Bone Appetit doggy friends!

Miss/Master Manners via La Plates!

As a teacher, I always tried to bring a little etiquette to the lunchroom...not always successful. As a mom, I've tried to bring manners to our mealtimes...again, not always successful. Now as a business woman, I hope I can help out your family table with our new La Plates Manners & Gingham Placemats! Just remember baby steps to the perfect young lady/gentleman and good luck!

You select from Hot Pink, Light Blue & Yellow.
You determine the font and personalization on the Gingham side -
La Plates provide a place setting guide on the other side!
