The Daily Fancy
These monogramed placemats and napkins from Julia B. have us smiling. The colorful borders are hand applique — isn’t that luxurious? We love the thought of investing in pieces you could someday pass on to your granddaughter and these lovely linens certainly fit the bill. The Matchbook girl…has great appreciation for the finer things in life :)
Care for a spot of tea?
Our friends over at Kate Spade have just added their entire tabletop collection to their online boutique and the Matchbook girls are positively thrilled! We’re especially hankering after these beautifully illustrated tea cups with dainty 24k gold detail…aren’t they simply divine? This calls for tea time!
Do you have any Kate Spade dinnerware in your collection? Dying to hear which pattern…!
