Silver Style

Unstoppable Silver Style

A tray is much like an area rug, it defines a space, while showcasing your favorite items. It anchors smaller accessories, so that they will not merely float around in a huge room! I couldn't resist putting the top picture on this page, it's so elegant. So classic. I think even the Contemporary/Mod movement, that designers are leaning towards, have incorporated "mother's old silver" into rooms. Recently, I went to New Orleans, while there, I noticed that the city has an unstoppable style to it. The city is far from trendy/somehow not dated at all, they weave in a nice mix of old and new....and do it, quite tastefully, I might add! In these tough economic times, money won't allow us to start all over with a sort of "rooms to go" spending spree. It's time to pull out the old, and purchase the timeless and classics that are out there-looks that are here to stay, looks that are not "disposable". This silver footed tray is nothing short of a future heirloom! It's not only a great wedding gift it's a timeless piece that will not end up in your child's garage sale in the next 25 years! Today is a new day, our lives are busy, company drops in unannounced. Don't be like your mother, and only pull out the silver when company is coming over....Place this on your side board, with your decanters, your crystal, your Juliska, today....Show your unstoppable style!,

you have only 7 days to receive 10% off of this fabulous piece! stop by Place Setting on July 8th-July 15th 2009 and receive 10% off the tray when you show them a copy of this blog!2

Basic Bowl

LISTEN UP YOUNG BRIDES......I've only been married for 10 years, and I regret so much taking back some of the useful items I got as a young 23 yr old bride! STUPID STUPID..should have listened to my mom! Oh, how I need more than 2 items like this! I cant tell you how many times, I have needed some very basic essential items for entertaining, only to show up short when I look for these items in my cupboard. I thought that if I couldn't put it out, show it off, or decorate with it I didn't need it. I thought if I had received one bowl, that I didn't need 2. I thought that everything had to match in categories (pottery, Annie Glass, Crystal or Silver) ....And stupid me, thought that I was gonna live in that tiny house forever. Well, turns out, that some of my most favorite wedding gifts are items that are just basic. Basic enough to match a friends' decor if I needed to bring something to a pot-luck dinner. They would be something I could dress up or dress down. Throw a fruit salad in this, use it for a dip, or chips....or make banana pudding in it. Its' like owning a basic black dress..you WILL NEED IT AND IT WILL never let you down.

Need a wedding gift for a bride that you are not sure of her taste? How classic is this bowl? AND... the best part is it is only $38.00.

Frames For Father's

Last year, I was a little "low-on-dough" for Father's Day. Couldn't quite get my loving husband the shotgun from Bass Pro Shop that he so desired for. So, I hired a local photographer, dressed up myself and our daughter... and took some fabulous pictures of us out in my back yard. I developed them, and voila!....we put them in this exact frame and gave it to my husband for Father's Day. He truly did like it. If you could see his desk, you would know why. He has a few OLD pictures tacked up with push pins on his cubicle and nothing else. The frame warms up his gray, fluorescent lit cubical (and the little old ladies that he works with always comment on it)! I highly recommend you do the same. Because there are so few masculine frames (that don't have some cheesy saying like "Gone Fishin'" on them)out in the retail world..this one is perfect! Place Setting has them in 4x6(standard size) and 5x7's....They are so reasonably priced...they hang or stand, and they are THICK and wooden (not resin). Father's day is only a week away. A picture really is worth a 1000 words....

In addition to making a lovely Father's Day gift, or Grandfather's gift....These would warm up any book shelf! I always have a nightmare that my computer will crash, and every latest and greatest shared memory would be lost off my hard drive! I'm good about routinely sending them to Walgreen's (with one click of the mouse, and less than 3 hrs) I pick them up and swap out my picture frames! Updating a picture frame can make a huge difference in your home.

Come to Place Setting in Highland Village, Jackson, MS and print out this Blog and receive 10% off of these wooden frames....July 11, 2009-July 18th, 2009!

DRINK UP AT PLACESETTING

My favorite thing to serve and to drink at a girls get together (besides wine) is any kind of punch! I once had my book club over and 5 of my guests were pregnant...so I used a recipe for a refreshing punch and named it the "PRENATAL PUNCH"....IF I HAD ONLY HAD THIS DECANTER WHEN I HAD THAT PARTY! What a fabulous dispenser, this is called a 2 part dispenser......because, it lifts to be 2 parts, the bottom part (much like a trifle bowl)can be for decor- you could fill it up with flowers or fruit, and the top part is where 2 gallons of your favorite beverage will be served. The spout, is stainless, and yes, its easy to clean! This is a must for anyone that entertains, a caterer or someone; like me, who just hosted a few girls and wanted to serve a little suprise! Below are a few of my favorite punch recipes!

Fruit Punch
1 (12 oz) can frozen orange juice
1 (46 oz) can pineapple juice
1 (10oz) pkg frozen strawberries
1 (12 oz) can frozen lemonade
2 quarts Ginger Ale

add pineapple juice, stir in strawberries. Add Ginger Ale right before you serve the punch.

Bridesmaid Punch

Hawaiian Cooler

Gerber Glamour

Nothing shouts spring or summer more than GERBER Daisies!!! How adorable are these napkin rings? I truly haven't found napkin rings that make this big of an impact on a table in all of my market trips! The diameter on these are amazing! And, since every magazine says that orange is the new black, its only fitting, that we offer this napkin ring in orange! The next holiday is Father's Day...and then The Fourth of July, have you fine-tuned your tablescape? (Oh yeah, here is a money saving idea)....Don't fuss this up with a floral centerpiece. Add a clear bowl of oranges, lemons, limes and green apples,and then somewhere else in your home tie in some orange Gerbers ,to carry the theme! Please stop by Place Setting while supplies last! I have a strong feeling that these will be gone in a flash!

European Chic

There is a reason why we are seeing an upward trend of brides registering for Juliska. It's European feeling is practical, durable, yet chic! With the movement of homes styled a bit more contemporary, and mono-chromatic this canister set is sure to fit in with any ceramic tile, granite, or travertine surface. (and did I mention that you have every excuse to stock up on artificial sweeteners now that your neighborhood Starbucks is closing down?) This style of Juliska is the Jardins du Monde, our most popular collection.
Don't need a canister set? The most well respected designers are those that think outside of the box! This being said, why not have a set of these in your dressing area.....fill them up with cotton swabs, cotton balls, medicines, fun-money. They too, would make a glamorous addition hanging out in the corner of your garden tub, filled with bath salts, soaps, shower caps, razors, exfoliating beads....

Mother's Day is 4 days away! What a great gift to give your mom, a special aunt, or your God-mother.

Whether placed on a bedside for a guest who is visiting your home, or used to decant your night time glass of wine.....this quality gift would be an heirloom to pass down to generations! It's small enough to be used personally for mouth wash in a powder room with it's pretty dainty cup....Or, perfect for someone who is ill, who has to swallow meds on an hourly basis...Oh, I could just go on and on about the uses of this item!

Add a POP With These BUBBLE Vases

These bubble vases are a must have if you love to entertain! Decorating a table has never been so simple and easy- these vases make flower arranging a possibility for anyone! Just fill the vases with water ( try colored water for a spring look)and place any tall stem flower in them for a pop of color! Here is a SEASONAL CHART FOR THE USE OF THESE VASES: Spring: Gerber daisies...along with some tall wispy bear grass--you can use any color of coordinating ribbon around the base of the vase! Summer: Lillies are bright, airy, and long lasting, they have tall stems, which you need to cut at a diagonal--they will last up to 2 weeks. With or without a ribbon, they are all you need near a sign in book for a summer wedding. In the Fall, we suggest tall sunflowers, wrapping the bases with black ribbon....In Winter, you can clip off a poinsettia, seal off the juices by simply burning the stem... pop in a few sprigs of maiden hair fern, cascading down the neck of the vase.....
The vases come in 3 different shapes (teardrop,bubble,and jug style). Run them down a long table,alternating shapes or place one in the center of a round table. One alone, will be just the height and drama you need to create an easy, and inexpensive table scape! For a little added drama, sprinkle confetti, or place a color beneath the vase. The water will magnify what lies beneath it, adding to the color scheme you are trying to create. The picture on the left shows how just one vase, was all we needed for a non profit luncheon. The flower budget was $60.00. (think non-profit events, charity functions, prom decorations)

Print out this post, bring it in to receive a 10% discount on these bubble vases at PLACE SETTING. Good Thru april 7th-april 11th. 2009

Elevate Your Entertaining

THINKING outside of the box while entertaining is what makes most parties have a "wow" factor. When ordinary entertainers see a cake plate, they think of a boring round, 2 tiered cake. We at PLACESETTING would never look at this picture and think that! We think Brie, Sushi, we see a bud vase in the center, with small hor de vour's piled around. While planning your next spread of food...Please elevate, add dimension, and dont let your entertaining run the risk of being "flat"...In the most casual entertaining, you could grab a bunch of green grapes, a wheel of gourmet cheese (sold in the deli section of any grocery store) and a box of crackers..place them on this stand and your company will think you went all out for their arrival! Another great wedding gift that a bride will actually use! Glass plates are priced at $45.00.

Please bring in a copy of this post of the cake stand and recieve 10% off Good Through March 30th-April 4th.

Gifts that they can entertain with NOW...In fact, our mission at market, is to scour the 900+ showrooms for timeless (and affordable) gifts to offer our customers for their entertaining needs...as well as those of our registered brides.

Filled with a bunch of white tulips from your local grocery store..these would look fabulous in a grouping in the center of your dining table, placed in your guest bathroom, or empty as a piece of art displayed in a book shelf.
