HOT SALE - get them fast!

In order to make room for a few new colors this Fall, these 3 colors of Sunday Catchalls just went on sale - 50% off {LEMON & DENIM available until sold out}. You may wonder why you should check Facebook...well all the Apple Green totes went to La Plates Facebook Fans before I could even post the sale on this blog! I guess that's one point for social media...

Get them while they last! We love a good deal - and love it even more if we can share it with friends. Come on, don't you deserve a Summer treat?

How can we serve you?

We love entertaining with a monogram. After MANY requests, we have added 20 ounce styrofoam cups to our La Plates Collection. We hope you have many fun festivities ahead with these custom cups.
While we love styrofoam for it's party purpose, it is not cool in the dishwasher. If you'd prefer to reuse your cups, year after year, our 16 ounce frost cups are dishwasher safe.

Happy 4th!

Every year, we kick off our 4^th of July weekend with a BBQ + Fireworks gathering. (2009, 2010) For a brief moment in time, all that matters is family, friends and good old-fashioned fun. We make the set up simple for all - including the hosts. We provide the BBQ, chips + bevies...our guests bring the sides + a seat for the fireworks show.

Over the years, we've added to our 4th La Plates collection:
We do load up on games for the kiddos at Target + Walmart:It's tough to stop and take photos when I'm having so much fun! Here's the start to dinner:
We did pause for a quick family photo...I love seeing all the red, white & blue outfits - especially the monogrammed ones.
While some eat BBQ, others spill out on the fairway for some fun...These two hitched a ride on a golf cart stopping by, love it!As a mother of boys, I love looking out & seeing a whole evening of games & running...I knew they'd sleep well...After the parashooters landed and before the fireworks began, these two discovered the dessert stash. They found a quiet seat, where no one could stop them...

We wish you a 4th of family, friends and fun! God Bless America!
