Materials:
– Faux pears (we got ours at Marshalls, but you can find faux fruit at any craft store!)
– An X-acto knife
– White card stock
– A pen or marker (we used Tombow Dual Brush Pens)

Directions:
1. Cut white card stock into small rectangles. Ours were about 2×3″
2. Use the X-acto knife to make a slit in the top of each of the pears.
3. Use a pen or marker to write names on each card (you can also print out name cards with your favorite font!).
4. Insert cards into pears and set on the table!

Chalkboard Silverware

Today we’re sharing a clever and cost-effective way to add a personalized touch to your Thanksgiving table: silverware that doubles as a name tag! Show your guests to their seats in style and reuse them year after year!

We used a paint pen on our silverware to make hand lettering the names a bit easier than with chalk. If you’d like to use chalk, leave some extra pieces on the table and have your guests write what they are thankful for on their knives and spoons!

Supplies: silverware (ours was from Goodwill: 12 pieces for $2.25!), chalkboard paint, a white paint pen (or chalk), and a paint brush (optional).

Directions:
1. Thoroughly clean and dry the silverware.
2. To paint each piece of flatware you can either dip it into the chalk paint container or use a paint brush to paint it on. Use blue tape to create sharp lines if you’d like!
3. Let dry completely. Once dry, use a white paint pen to add names to each fork.

**After use, hand wash only to preserve the paint.**

Later this week we’ll be sharing even more Thanksgiving name tag ideas, so stay tuned!

And don’t forget about the GIVEAWAY that ends tonight at 11:59pm EST! See this Instagram post for details.

Christmas Table Setting 2014

by vickybarone December 22, 2014

written by vickybarone

Happy Monday, everyone! We are so excited to share our Christmas table this morning. This year we used red and teal details to create a modern and bright table that really pops! Keep reading for more details:

In lieu of napkin rings, we chose a silky red ribbon to hold the silverware tight, similar to what we did for last year’s Thanksgiving table.

Each setting comes with a candy cane place card holder and a white cranberry mimosa as well!

You can find the metallic place mats at Pier 1, the teal chargers at the dollar store, and the border napkins from Crate and Barrel.

What details are you including in your Christmas table this year? We’d love to see!

Simple Christmas Table Setting

Here are a few shots of our dining room table all ready for Christmas dinner! It may be a little early, but having the table set in advance not only helps eliminate last minute preparations, but it is also a nice way to get into the holiday spirit. We don’t use our dining room table every day anyway, so why not dress it up with the rest of the house?

The table runner and metallic place mats are from Pier 1 Imports, the red chargers are from the dollar store, and the reindeer is from Pottery Barn. We used a felt mistletoe garland from Target as a decorative table runner and red ribbon to tie the silverware.
