in honor of recipe fridays, i wanted to post these beautiful new placemats from kat at modern-twist. her gorgeous easy-to-clean silicone mats are a favorite for mine because they’re cute enough to use for adults, but perfect for visiting guests of the smaller variety. kids can spill on them and all you have to do is rinse them in the sink and you’re good to go. sure beats dry cleaning fancy linen or lace placemats (although they have a special place in my heart, they’re just not as practical). kat recently traveled to paris and was inspired by traditional damask patterns and decided to put a little spin on them with some help from jules at brand bird. i love the way they incorporated forks and chickens into the pattern in a way that’s still chic and modern. there are always some new children’s designs right here courtesy of carrie gifford or red cap cards. click here to check it all out and find a retailer near you. if you’re visiting the ny gift fair check out modern-twist in the handmade section, booth #5532. [thanks, kat!]
[ps: if you're showing at the ny gift fair and want to submit new product designs just shoot me an email right here. i'll be in savannah for wedding planning that weekend so i won't be able to attend this season]
