FOR BBQ AND PICNIC TOO!


Let's get this party started! With a red die - cut graphic and white page you can run through the printer, tie it together with the grosgrain ribbon and it is party time. Comes in a pack of 10 from Kate's Paperie.

I love these stylish Blue Dragon tin plates from Mottahedeh. Just like the porcelain version they do!

I have always found Caspari to be a reliable source for great paper napkins and plates in fun patterns. I have been waiting for the right time to show these and the time is now! This season, they up the ante with new Paule Marrot and Dabney Lee Collections. Fantastic.

A selection from both bold new collections, some are daring and bold, others, soft and sweet.

DABNEY LEE the preppy paper girl from Brooklyn channels her inner Sister Parish/Lilly Pulitzer/Babe Paley gene for her fun new summer designs with Caspari:

Turquoise Seahorse paper napkin

Coral Seahorse paper napkin

Greek Key Moderne paper napkin in coral and pink

Greek Key Moderne paper plate in red

Goldfish paper napkin in coral

Goldfish paper napkin in green

Goldfish paper plate in natural

PAULE MARROT I have a thing for anything that reminds me of the lively and fresh floral prints I grew up with. Loving the huge Marrot renasissance, I was thrilled to see Caspari doing the French artist's designs on their paper entertaining stuff.
