My Kind of Placemat…

I’ve always secretly wished I were a southern belle—the type of perfectly primped girl that sits down to a formal meal each night with her hubby, the table set in fine china…  Sadly, I don’t even come close.  That’s why these new canvas printed placemats from Anthropologie made me smile.  They’re called the “short cut placemat” because when you don’t feel like setting the table “with this plate and flatware printed canvas mat, half the job is already completed.”  Did I mention they’re machine washable?  I’m sold.

    i’ve never liked china because it is usually patterned and i have issues eating food off of patterned plates. weird, i know. but, patterned plates on placemats? i’m on board!

  4. Phew! Glad to see I’m not the only under-achieving table setter in the bunch!

  7. Cute! I love the yellow one. I imagine someday I’m going to have a lovely white kitchen with sunny yellow accents!

  8. Rachel — Sunny yellow accents sound perfectly lovely. You have such great taste : )
