Congrats Reese!

Congrats to one of our favorite working moms & fellow monogram lover, Reese Witherspoon. We've loved her since Man in the Moon (now that's a blast from the past!) She just welcomed baby #3, Tennessee James Toth - great name. And now we leave you with our favorite quote from Reese:

Breakfast in Bed?

So I've got to be honest, this photo didn't happen in real life...but wouldn't it be nice? We snapped this when photographing our new Lucite Trays. I love this image, as it captures some of my favorite things! Quadrille Java Java fabric headboard - LOVE! Front pillows + coverlet = Leontine Linens, an amazing company with over-the-top fantastic monogrammed pieces. If I were Oprah, these would be some of My Favorite Things...but alas, that is just a dream - like this breakfast in bed scene!

A little love from the RNC

A while back the Republican National Convention contacted La Plates about designing something for their upcoming convention. We were thrilled when they ordered stacks and stacks of La Plates Cutting Boards for the event!

We're not picking favorites - we're happy to help out the Democrats too. Obama, just give us a call if we can whip something up for you and your peeps heading to Charlotte!

We're NOT Picking Your Political Party...

We just want to provide the plates! America is talking politics, why not bring some red, white & blue to the tabletop? No matter what side you see eye-to-eye with, it's so important you VOTE! These plates will be available until November 6th, 2012 - Election Day.

La Plates + Brides Magazine

We were super excited to see our Gingham Plates appear in the August 2012 Brides Magazine. I've been a fan of the mag since planning my big day almost 11 years ago.

When the magazine asked us for samples, we didn't know what the story would be about. It was so fun to see them tied to a State Fair theme, as it's been a story line in our family for years! My sweet mother was crowned Miss Indiana State Fair exactly 50 years ago this month - August 1962.

Introducing iPad 2/3 Covers!!

We are SO excited to bring you our custom La Plates iPad Covers! We have a little addiction to the iPad around here...the only thing that makes it better? A personalized cover! This impact resistant, flexible hard shell case snaps onto the back of the iPad 2 or 3 and is fully compatible with the Smart Cover (available through Apple). Access to all ports and functions - compatible with the 3rd Generation iPad (March 2012 release).

Baby Gifts

We've been catching up on baby gifts around here and wanted to share what we designed. Maybe it's the fact that I have 2 boys, so I LOVE to play with girly colors! We used our "rugby stripe" - it seems to make text pop on our plates.

We love to give gifts to the new baby AND big siblings - it makes everyone feel included. And who wouldn't love a personalized plate for the dinner table?!
