La Plates is turning 5!

I can't believe it's been almost 5 years since La Plates was born! If you could have seen the chaos when it all began...we've come so far! Next Wednesday, May 1st, 2013 will be the "official" birthday party for La Plates & we want to celebrate with you - our friends and family. We're going to be giving away all kinds of treats!

To begin, we are handing out 5 gift certificates {valued at $50 each} to friends that follow us on Facebook & 'LIKE', 'SHARE' & 'COMMENT' on our Turning 5 post. Want to see where else we'll be sharing some treats? Follow us on Pinterest, Instagram & Twitter.

We can't wait to gift all the winners - entries will be taken until 5.1.13 @ midnight CST. Don't be tardy to the party!

Tabletop Tuesday

You know you've fallen off the blogging wagon when your husband asks, "Are you still blogging?" The answer is YES! We love social media, but sometimes it's overwhelming whether to spend our time on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram or Twitter...now we just heard we're suppose to be on LinkedIn too! In the interest of time, we have neglected our blog...promise to be better!

We've loved sharing some fabulous tabletop settings recently - Tabletop Tuesday. Be sure to share photos of your upcoming soirees featuring La Plates - you can email us at: info@laplates.com. Here are some of the favorites:

New duffel - will travel!

Here in the midwest, we've been blasted by snow...and apparently there's more coming! Happily, we  have a FABULOUS new La Plates Monogrammed Charlie Duffel & it's just the size to pack up and get out of town for a few days. Now to sneak away...

IKAT Lucite Love!

We are big fans of Kansas City's SPACES Magazine. This month they featured our La Plates Lucite Tray - square in the IKAT design in turquoise/orange. It's one of our favorite new items and can be custom designed for any room in your home!
