We were on Oprah!

Sort of. While catching up on our favorite show yesterday, Oprah was covering the topic of Quints by Surprise. Low and behold, one of our gifts to the Jones Quints appeared - La Plates Placemats on their kitchen table. Seems that our personalized mats keep them entertained and organized at mealtime! Glad they are a hit with the kids...now Oprah might need a few!

Happy Second Birthday to the Quints! And cheers to their big sis and parents for leading the way! Here's a link to our original Jones post.

LAVISH, A Great Group of Bloggers

We had the opportunity to be a part of a great gathering of lifestyle bloggers this weekend: LAVISH! in Atlanta, GA. As sponsors, we decorated for the final toast & cupcake treat, take a look at the tables:
Each place setting had a dessert plate, frost cup + a notepad:
We met one of the first bloggers to introduce La Plates to their readers, Melissa C. Morris:
So fun to meet someone in person, after loving her blog for years!
The creator of LAVISH, The Broke Socialite:
Plus all the sponsors behind the event:

Congrats to Honeysuckle!

We love this year's PANTONE winner!

We think Honeysuckle on our GREEK design is FAB with a little pop of charcoal. Look for more custom options, coming in our 2011 Collection!

Christmas Card Photos

In an effort to motivate our kids to take Christmas card pictures, I found some old photos of Uncle Matt & me. I had to laugh at the number of monogrammed sweaters my mother dressed us in...La Plates was in the cards long ago!

Let's begin with 1981's sweet leaf pile pic...
A few years later, things got a little ugly...my bad teeth, the pom-pom hats over the bowl cuts, our "friend" Joey...but I've got a monogram!
May you have good luck in snapping a classic of your kids...dog...whoever you plan to show off this year!
